ProBar Meal bars recalled
ProBar LLC is voluntarily recalling specific flavors and lots of its Meal bars because they may contain undeclared milk and soy allergens, according to a Department of Defense All Food and Drug Activity message sent July 11. The recall was initiated after an investigation into a customer complaint of an allergic reaction revealed that an ingredient may contain milk and soy.
Those with milk or soy allergies run the risk of serious or life-threatening allergic reaction if they consume the product.
The Defense Commissary Agency has publicized this recall to all its stores, said Richard Stith, supervisory consumer safety officer for DeCA headquarters at Fort Lee, Virginia. Whenever a commissary has recalled or withdrawn products in its inventory, they are immediately removed from store shelves.
