Browns Granola Company, LLC: Gourmet Granola Recalled for Undeclared Milk

Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Browns Granola Company, LLC is recalling 846 bags of O'Brien's Own Gourmet Granola in Blueberry Muffin, Busy Bee's Honey & Oat, and Chocolate Peanut Butter flavors because they contain milk that is not declared on the label. While the ingredients list mentions 'whey,' it fails to explicitly state that the product contains milk, which is a major allergen. These 12-ounce bags were sold at grocery stores in Iowa and at various farmer's markets. Consumers who purchased these products should return them to the place of purchase for a full refund.

Risk

People who have an allergy or severe sensitivity to milk run the risk of a serious or life-threatening allergic reaction if they consume these products. The labeling error specifically omitted the required 'Contains Milk' statement despite the presence of whey.

What You Should Do

  1. Check your pantry for O'Brien's Own Gourmet Granola in 12-ounce bags with the following UPC codes: 6 09132 49665 3 (Blueberry Muffin), 6 09132 49667 7 (Busy Bee's Honey & Oat), or 6 09132 49668 4 (Chocolate Peanut Butter).
  2. Confirm if your product is affected by checking the 'Best Buy' date; this recall applies to all bags of these three flavors regardless of the date printed on the package.
  3. If you have a milk allergy or sensitivity, do not consume the granola. Even if you do not have an allergy, you should return the product to the grocery store or farmer's market where it was purchased for a full refund.
  4. If you have questions or need further assistance, contact the manufacturer, Browns Granola Company, LLC (O'Brien's Own Gourmet Granola), at their Center Point, Iowa location.
  5. For additional information or to report a reaction, contact the FDA Consumer Complaint hotline at 1-888-723-3332 (1-888-SAFEFDA) or visit www.fda.gov/safety/recalls.
