With the knowledge of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the Washington-based company Ellenos Real Greek Yogurt is recalling its mango Greek yogurt 16-ounce cups because the content may contain egg that was not properly declared on the label. People who have an allergy or severe sensitivity to egg face the risk of serious or even life-threatening allergic reactions if they eat this yogurt without realizing its true contents.

The 16-ounce mango yogurt cups were distributed at retail stores around Oregon and Washington. If you think you might have purchased these items, check your fridge for the yogurt in question, which is packaged in a clear plastic container with a blue foil seal identified by the blue lettering on the front panel. The products of potential concern have UPC 8 57290 00612 6 and a “best before” date of Nov. 28, 2021, printed on the blue foil seal. You don’t need to worry about any other size or flavors from the Ellenos brand.ae0fcc31ae342fd3a1346ebb1f342fcb The recall was initiated when some of the 16-ounce cups thought to be mango were found to contain dark brown puree instead of what should have been bright yellow mango puree. After an internal investigation, the company concluded that the mango yogurt cups were inadvertently filled with pumpkin yogurt. And this posed a labeling problem for allergy sufferers, because the mango yogurt cup label doesn’t declare egg, which is used in the pumpkin yogurt. In a statement announcing the recall, Ellenos CEO John Tucker said, “We learned today of the mislabeling and immediately contacted the FDA, our distributors, and retail partners of the mislabel and to notify of an immediate recall of 16-ounce mango. We take the health and safety of our consumers incredibly seriously and wanted to remove the mislabeled product from the market as soon as possible.” RELATED: For more up-to-date information, sign up for our daily newsletter.
