Retailer Recalls Imported Buttered Vegetables For Not Declaring Milk

 Lidl US is recalling all lots of their Taste of Deutschland Buttered Vegetables 10.5 oz box UPC 4 056489 122876 due to undeclared milk allergen. The recall was issued due to undeclared milk in the products.  The recall was initiated after it was discovered by the FDA during an inspection that the labels did not list the allergen milk in the ingredient statement.  

Butter is listed on the label, but milk is not declared.  Product is imported from Germany.  This falls on the FSVP importer, in this case probably the retailer, to ensure that the product meets US regulatory standards.
