GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. – Stehouwer’s Frozen Foods, out of Grand Rapids, is recalling approximately 6,039 pounds of Pigs in the Blanket products because of the misbranding of an undeclared allergen.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service announced that nonfat milk was listed as an ingredient in the mix used to make the dough for the product, but it was not listed on the final product label.

The products subject to recall include 13.5 pound cases of “Stehouwer’s Pigs in the Blanket.” Each case contains 12 individual 18 ounce packages. The products have use by dates of September 27, 2013, October 25, 2013, and December 13, 2013. Five pound bulk packages of the product are also included in the recall. They have a use by date of October 25, 2013.

The products were distributed for institutional use and to retail stores in Michigan.
