Walmart has issued multiple product recalls in the past week, including one accompanied by a life-threatening health warning.
Newsweek previously reached out to Walmart for comment regarding the recalls.
Tropicale Foods Helados Mexico and La Michoacana Ice Cream Products
As previously reported by Newsweek, Tropicale Foods, based in Ontario, California, announced last Friday a voluntary recall of select Helados Mexico and La Michoacana ice cream products.
The products were sold at Walmart stores in all 50 states and Washington, D.C.
The decision followed a label audit, which revealed that although the products list "cream" as an ingredient, they do not explicitly include "milk," which could endanger those with an allergy.
Milk is a major allergen under federal labeling laws, and its accidental presence in products poses a risk to consumers with allergies or severe sensitivities.
The recall noted that "people who have an allergy or severe sensitivity to milk run the risk of serious or life-threatening allergic reaction if they consume these products."

Doehler Dry Ingredient Solutions, LLC, recalled Member's Mark Freeze Dried Fruit Variety Pack 15-count boxes, UPC 1 93968 50900 2, due to contamination with Listeria monocytogenes, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced.
Listeria can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems.
Although healthy individuals may suffer only short-term symptoms such as high fever, severe headache, stiffness, nausea, abdominal pain, and diarrhea, Listeria infection can cause miscarriages and stillbirths among pregnant women.
So far, no illnesses have been reported in connection with the recall.

High Noon Beach Variety Packs
High Noon recalled its Vodka Seltzer Beach Pack (12 Pack). The company announced that some of these packs contain cans that are mislabeled as CELSIUS® ASTRO VIBE™ Energy Drink. Consumption of the liquid in these cans will result in unintentional alcohol ingestion.
As reported by Newsweek, the mislabeled cans containing alcohol raise health concerns for many consumers, particularly minors and individuals who avoid alcohol for medical or religious reasons. Health officials and retailers often stress that consuming recalled items can lead to serious illness or injury.
The products were sold at select Walmart stores in Florida, Michigan, Ohio, South Carolina, Virginia, and Wisconsin.
Anyone who has purchased any of the recalled items is advised not to consume the products and to dispose of or return them to the store where possible.
