Pow Pow Powders Hot Cocoa Mix Recalled for Undeclared Milk Allergen

San Diego Coffee, Tea and Spice is recalling Pow Pow Powders hot cocoa mix because the product lacks ingredient and allergen labeling, with undeclared milk present in the formulation.

What this means for you

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: Allergen mislabeling involving a common allergen (milk) without reported illness meets the High severity criterion. The hazard is significant because consumers with milk allergies could unknowingly consume the product.
