article imageSingle Serve 11-Ounce Chocolate Silk Soymilk Being Recalled

WhiteWave Foods Company is recalling their "11-ounce plastic single serve bottles of Silk Soymilk Chocolate Flavor" because the label does not declare the presence of milk protein. The bottles will have the "use by" date of May 7, 2008.
Mt. Crawford, Virginia - This morning, the FDA released a notice of a voluntary recall initiated by WhiteWave Foods Company. The product in question is their 11-ounce single serve Silk of Soymilk in Chocolate Flavor, sold in plastic containers. The 'use by' date is May 7, 2008, and the UPC on the back of the bottle will be: 2529360028.

The problem is that the label doesn't declare the presence of milk proteins, which may cause an allergic reaction or illness in people who are sensitive to milk products. There have been reactions reported.

This affected product was distributed nationwide and reached consumers through retail and foodservice outlets. WhiteWave's sales team is working with distributors to actively recover any affected product remaining on store shelves.

The company has apologized to their customers for this inconvenience, and customers may return the product for a refund or an exchange.

Consumers are free to call 800-587-2259 with any questions or concerns.

    Sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused you.
    The company will really be sorry if someone gets sick.
    These companies sure do need to be a lot more careful.

    If someone gets sick or worse it sure isn't "an inconvenience"

    It seems that a lot of companies are having this very problem lately...undeclared ingredients. This is really bizarre that suddenly there are recalls for this very problem.

    Yes it does seem like lately there are so many recalls do to undeclared ingredients.

    Are you feeling better Deb? I sure hope that none of the kids got sick.

    Yep..I am feeling much better! And we caught it fast enough that none of the kids got it. My daughter and I are wondering if this doesn't go hand-in-hand with seasonal allergies. I didn't think I had allergies to anything, but it's also a question that my doctor suggested too.

    I at one time had very bad allergies both in the spring and fall. I took shots for several years for my allergies and now I am pretty well free of seasonal allergies.

    I still have allergies to dust and have to be very careful if I pet a cat or dog that I don't touch my eyes.

    Cats get me. Their fur sends me into an itching and sneezing frenzy. As a child, I was allergic to ragweed...that crap darned near sent me into the hospital. Ugh! But other than that, usually I get a little amount of sneezing or runny/itchy eyes from pollen, but do not suffer all that much.
