Canada has recalled Plantropy’s Jack’d Up Bites Crispy Protein Bites – Jalapeno after discovering undeclared milk in the product, posing a potentially serious health risk to consumers with milk allergies.
The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) issued the recall on October 23, 2026, citing an allergen labelling issue. The affected products were distributed nationally and sold online.
Milk is a priority food allergen. For people with a milk allergy, consuming a product containing undeclared milk can trigger reactions ranging from hives and swelling to breathing difficulties and potentially life-threatening anaphylaxis.
The recall covers the following Plantropy products:
Consumers should check the product name, package size, UPC, production codes and best-before date to determine whether they have an affected item.
Consumers who are allergic or sensitive to milk should not consume the recalled products. The CFIA advises consumers and food businesses not to serve, use, sell or distribute the affected items.
Recalled products should be discarded or returned to the place of purchase. Anyone who suspects an allergic reaction after consuming the product should seek appropriate medical attention. Symptoms involving breathing difficulties or other signs of a severe allergic reaction require emergency medical care.
Food allergen labelling is essential for helping consumers make informed and safe purchasing decisions. When milk is present but not declared on a product label, people with milk allergies may unknowingly consume the allergen.
Reactions can vary between individuals, and even small amounts of an allergen can trigger serious symptoms in some people. Potential symptoms include skin reactions, swelling, vomiting, abdominal discomfort and respiratory difficulties. In severe cases, anaphylaxis can be life-threatening.
The Plantropy recall highlights the importance of accurate ingredient declarations and effective allergen controls throughout food manufacturing and packaging. Undeclared allergens remain a significant concern because affected consumers may rely on product labels to avoid ingredients that could cause serious reactions.
Consumer takeaway: Check your pantry for the affected Plantropy Jack’d Up Bites Crispy Protein Bites – Jalapeno products. If you have a milk allergy or sensitivity, do not consume them. Follow the CFIA’s recall guidance and return or discard the affected products.
