Wawa Beverage Company — Class I: Wawa Diet Iced Tea Lemon Pint (16oz),Plastic bottle
Wawa Beverage Company has initiated a Class I recall of Wawa Diet Iced Tea Lemon Pint (16oz) in plastic bottles due to an undeclared milk allergen. The recall is currently classified as ongoing.
This recall affects Wawa Beverage Company, its distributors, and food safety/regulatory professionals responsible for beverage labeling and allergen control programs.
A Class I designation indicates the FDA's assessment of a reasonable probability that exposure to the product will cause serious adverse health consequences or death. This suggests a significant failure in the firm's allergen control or labeling verification processes. Regulatory teams likely need to investigate the root cause—whether it was an ingredient substitution or a labeling error—to prevent recurrence in other beverage lines.
Quality teams should immediately verify that allergen labeling protocols for tea-based beverages account for all shared equipment or ingredient cross-contamination risks. Regulatory departments should audit labels for 16oz plastic bottle formats to ensure milk allergens are correctly declared.
Class I. Reason: Undeclared Milk Allergen,. Product: Wawa Diet Iced Tea Lemon Pint (16oz),Plastic bottle. Firm: Wawa Beverage Company (Media PA United States). Status: Ongoing.
