The FDA recalls Marco Polo Brand Shrimp snacks due to an undeclared milk ingredient.
San Bernardino, CA—The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) http://www.fda.gov/ and Golden Pacific Foods, Inc. have recalled Marco Polo Brand Shrimp snacks sold as Original, Onion and Garlic, and Bar-B-Que flavored. The recall was initiated after discovering they may contain an undeclared milk and soy ingredient, as reported by the FDA.
Those who have allergies to milk and soy are at risk for serious or life threatening allergic reactions if they were to consumer the product. The following products are involved in the recall:
• Marco Polo Brand Shrimp Snack Original
o Packaging: 2.5 oz plastic bag
o UPC: 24628 92482
• Marco Polo Brand Shrimp Snacks Onion & Garlic Flavored

o Packaging: .5 oz plastic bag
o UPC: 24628 51083
The recalled snacks were sold nationwide through retail stores. To date, there have been no illnesses reported in connection with this recall, which was prompted after an FDA inspection found the milk and soy containing products did not have packaging that reveal the presence of the ingredients.
