Anyone with a milk allergy is asked not to consume tortellini sold by Europasta Inc. as it could contain the allergen without mention on the label.

The recall has been issued by the Quebec Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food (MAPAQ) in collaboration with the City of Montreal’s Food Inspection Division and Europasta Inc.

The products affected include various sizes of meat tortellini and mini tortellini.

“The products were packaged in clear plastic bags, sometimes vacuum-sealed,” MAPAQ notes. “They were sold refrigerated or frozen.”

The recall has been issued as a precautionary measure and only concerns people who are allergic to milk.

“Anyone who has one of these products in their possession is advised not to consume it,” the ministry stresses. “They should return it to the store where they purchased it or throw it away.”

Anyone experiencing symptoms related to the consumption of the product should consult a health care professional.

There have been no reported cases of allergic reactions related to the recall.
