Rice, soup mixes recalled over concerns of undeclared allergens, NatureMills says
Several varieties of rice, soups and porridge mixes, among others, produced by the NatureMills brand have been recalled over concerns that they may contain undeclared allergens.
The Food and Drug Administration Authority (FDA) announced May 13 that Texas-based NatureMills US Inc. is recalling select products, sold between Dec. 1, 2023, and May 10, 2025, due to undeclared allergens such as wheat, milk, and sesame.
"People who have an allergy or severe sensitivity to these allergens run the risk of serious or life-threatening allergic reactions if they consume these products," the advisory said, adding "no illnesses have been reported to date in connection with this issue."
The recall was initiated after a routine internal audit found missing labeling for ingredients and allergens, which stemmed from an oversight in the packing process, the company said.
