I am not sure if this is something you all use or if it is even ok to

use, as I have not come into contact with it yet. I thought I should

pass it along.

Galaxy Nutritional Foods Recalls Dairy-Free Apple Pie Flavored Veggie

Yogurt

Orlando, FL (SafetyAlerts) - The Food and Drug Administration (FDA)

announced that Galaxy Nutritional Foods, makers of Veggie® Brand Dairy

Alternatives is recalling 458 cases of its 6 ounce packages of Apple Pie

flavored Veggie Yogurt because they may possibly contain trace amounts of

milk-protein. People who have allergies to milk protein run the possible

risk of serious or life-threatening allergic reaction if they consume

this product.

The recalled Apple Pie flavored Veggie Yogurt was distributed through

distribution centers in the following states: FL, CT, MA, WI, TN, VA, NY,

OH, PA and the Dominican Republic for further distribution to retail

stores possibly nationwide.

The product comes in a 6 ounce, single serve white plastic container with

a peelable lidding stock with UPC #0-77172-66765-2 with an expiration

date of NOV 19, 01 S4R2 stamped on the bottom.

The recall was initiated after it was discovered that a milk

protein-containing product was produced prior to the dairy-free Veggie

Yogurt, even though the equipment was thoroughly cleaned. This may have

resulted in a possible cross-mixing of the Apple Pie flavored Veggie

Yogurt that was distributed to limited retail markets.

Consumers who have purchased the 6 ounce packages of Apple Pie flavored

Veggie Yogurt that are allergic to milk proteins are urged to dispose the

product and contact Galaxy Nutritional Foods directly at 1-

to receive a full refund for their purchase and to address any questions

they may have.
