Nutrition Bars Recalled for Undeclared Milk After 11 Suffer Allergic Reactions

Lifestyle Evolution Inc., based in Oakmont, PA is recalling select lots of NuGo Dark Chocolate Chip and Dark Chocolate Pretzel nutrition bars because they may contain undeclared milk.  This is the same recall announced by customers selling these products, including Amazon, Costco Wegmans, Giant Eagle, on December2, 2024 and not an expansion or different recall.  The recall was initiated after the firm received 11 consumer reports of allergic reaction experienced after consuming the product. As part of the firm’s ongoing investigation, the product was tested and found to contain milk, which is not indicated on the packaging. The firm’s investigation is ongoing

There is a precautionary statement that does include milk, but this of course will not prevent a recall.    Evidently, 11 people with allergies to milk still purchased and ate this product.
