ORGANIZATIONS IN THIS STORY

Tropicale Foods, based in Ontario, California, has announced a recall of certain Helados Mexico and La Michoacana products. The recall is due to the presence of undeclared milk in these products. Although "cream" is listed as an ingredient, the term "milk" is not explicitly declared.

The affected products were distributed nationwide at retail locations. This action follows an audit of product labels by the company. To date, there has been one reported case of consumer illness related to this issue.

Consumers who have purchased these products and are allergic or sensitive to milk are advised to dispose of them and avoid consumption. For further inquiries, consumers can contact Tropicale Foods at 909-563-3090 from Monday to Friday between 8 am and 5 pm Pacific Time.
