The company is recalling the 8-ounce packages of Sweet Earth Aloha BBQ Quesadilla due to mismatched packaging, which resulted in undeclared egg and milk allergens.
People who are allergic to eggs or milk could have a serious or life-threatening reaction, if they consumed the recalled product.
According to the company, a UPC code of 016741000551 appears on the back of the package, and the best by date of 6/28/19 and lot number of 8149 appears on the side of the package.
The product being recalled has Sweet Earth Aloha BBQ Quesadilla exterior packaging but incorrectly features the Sweet Earth Mile High Quesadilla in an interior clear plastic wrapper that reads Mile High.
The ingredient statement on the exterior package is said to apply to the Aloha BBQ Quesadilla and does not detect eggs and milk which are in the Mile High Quesadilla.
Aloha BBQ Quesadilla is safe for consumers who are not allergic to eggs or milk and has received no reports of illnesses to date associated with this product, said the company.
Sweet Earth produced the recalled product on 29 May, and confirmed that the limited quantity of product with mismatched packaging was supplied only to Target stores nationally and Strack & Van Til Food Market in Indiana/Illinois.
Sweet Earth noted that no other production dates or Sweet Earth products are impacted by the recall and only product with the mismatched packaging is being recalled.
The company has laid investigation into the incident, and is also working the US Food & Drug Administration to implement the voluntary recall. Via consumer contact, Sweet Earth was first notified of the mismatched packaging.
All consumers who have purchased the recalled product can replace them by contacting the company.
Sweet Earth produces various food products, including pizza, burritos, sandwiches, plant-based breakfast meats, veggie burgers and salad kits.
