“La Guadalupana Frozen Tamales Recall: Undeclared Cheese Allergen Risk.” GovInfoNow, updated October 6, 2026. https://govinfonow.com/recall/1274852-la-guadalupana-frozen-tamales-recall-undeclared-cheese-allergen-risk. Based on USDA FSIS recall #039-2025 (https://www.fsis.usda.gov/recalls-alerts/la-guadalupana-foods-llc-recalls-ready-eat-frozen-tamales-due-misbranding-and).
Why it’s dangerous
The tamales were mislabeled as mild pork tamales but actually contain cheese (milk), a known allergen not listed on the label. This means individuals with dairy allergies could experience allergic reactions if they consume the product without knowing it contains cheese.
Who’s affected
People who purchased or have these tamales in their homes or restaurants in Illinois, Iowa, Ohio, or Wisconsin. Those with dairy allergies are at higher risk due to the undeclared cheese.
