Some Pop Tarts recalled

If Kellogg’s Pop Tarts are part of your breakfast routine and you’re allergic to milk, beware of a recall issued by the Michigan company for the Frosted Blueberry toaster pastries.

Kellogg Company has recalled about 1,000 cartons distributed to grocery stores in 22 states, including Rhode Island, because the Pop Tarts might contain undeclared milk. People with an allergy or severe sensitivity to milk run the risk of serious or life-threatening allergic reaction if they eat the recalled pastries, according to a company statement.

No allergic reactions have been reported to date.

The product is packaged in eight-count cartons of 14.7 ounces, with a bar code of 38000 31010. Only eight-count cartons with a manufacturing code beginning with AUG 27 07 CPC printed on the top of the carton are included in this alert.

The company recalled the blueberry pastries after learning that a limited number of Kellogg’s Pop Tarts Hot Fudge Sundae pastries with milk were mistakenly packaged in the blueberry tart packaging.

The states covered under the recall are Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Louisiana, Michigan, Missouri, Mississippi, Montana, North Carolina, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia and West Virginia.
