Ulker Brand Products Recalled for Allergy Risk

ZB Importing LLC is voluntarily recalling certain lots of six varieties of Ulker Brand snack rolls, biscuits, and wafers because of undeclared wheat, egg and/or milk in the ingredient list and/or contains statement on the product labels. People who have an allergy or severe sensitivity to wheat, egg, or milk run the risk of a serious or life-threatening allergic reaction if they consume these products.

Products were distributed through retail stores in Ontario, Canada and the following U.S. states: AL, AR, CA, CT, CO, DC, DE, FL, GA, IL, IN, KY, LA, MA, MD, MI, MN, MO, MS, NE, NC, NH, NJ, NM, NY, OH, OK, PA, RI, SC, TN, TX, VA, WA, WI and WV. This mislabeling was discovered following receipt of a single consumer complaint involving an allergic reaction. The issue originated from a supplier who inadvertently failed to fully disclose all allergens while translating the ingredient list. The company is actively working with the supplier to implement stricter labeling controls, including an additional verification process for multilingual labels.

Consumers who have purchased any of the Ulker Brand products affected are urged to return them to the place of purchase for a full refund.
