Unilever Recalls Popsicle Jolly Rancher Pops Due to Undeclared Milk

By Colin Kellaher

European consumer-goods giant Unilever is recalling more than 100,000 cases of ice pops in the U.S. due to a potential risk to people with milk allergies.

Unilever on Wednesday said the recall covers about 137,000 cases of Popsicle Jolly Rancher single-serve products because the pops may contain milk, which isn't listed as an ingredient on the label.

The Anglo-Dutch company said people who have an allergy or severe sensitivity to milk run the risk of a serious or life-threatening allergic reaction if they consume the products, which are marked for individual sale and typically sold through ice-cream trucks, concession stands and grab-and-go freezers throughout the U.S.

Unilever said there have been two reported allergic reactions in connection with products, which were distributed between February and August.

Unilever noted that the recall doesn't apply to 18-count Popsicle Jolly Rancher multi-pack products sold in grocery and retail stores.
