A recall has been initiated for snacks sold nationwide due to concerns that undeclared ingredients could cause potentially fatal allergic reactions.

A recall notice posted on the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) website on Friday warned consumers that Bliss Tree Butter Snacks may contain milk and sesame without the ingredients being listed on the packaging.

The snacks, imported by Sri Lakshmi Narasimhar Overseas LLC of Edison, New Jersey, were sold in retail stores across the country and online by Amazon.

Bliss Tree said the recall was initiated shortly after the packaging defect was discovered and cited the problem as “a temporary disruption to the company’s packaging processes.”

At the time of publication, no illnesses related to the recall have been reported. Production and distribution of the snacks have been suspended until the company and the FDA confirm that the issue has been resolved.

While the unexpected addition of milk or sesame may not cause serious health concerns for many consumers, people with allergies to these ingredients are at risk of anaphylaxis, which can be fatal.

Anaphylaxis requires immediate medical attention and causes symptoms such as throat swelling, difficulty breathing, sudden drop in blood pressure and loss of consciousness. Other symptoms of severe allergic reactions include rashes, hives, itching, vomiting, diarrhea and abdominal cramps.

Milk and sesame are considered two of nine “major food allergens,” according to the FDA. Other major allergens include eggs, fish, shellfish, tree nuts, peanuts, wheat, and soybeans. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, about 6 percent of adults and 8 percent of children in the United States have at least one food allergy.

In addition to allergies, milk also poses a risk for people with lactose intolerance, which is the inability to properly digest a type of sugar found in dairy products.

Some people with lactose intolerance take supplements containing lactase, an enzyme that breaks down lactose, to prevent symptoms of the condition before consciously consuming dairy products.

According to the National Institutes of Health, symptoms of lactose intolerance include bloating, diarrhea, flatulence, nausea and abdominal pain. If left untreated, the condition can lead to long-term health problems because it blocks the absorption of calcium and vitamin D.
