Pinnacle Foods recalls Duncan Hines Swiss Chocolate Cake Mix due to incorrect labeling as non-milk containing when it actually contains milk. Consumers should check product labels for the specific batch.
A natural flavoring containing a milk ingredient was inadvertently used to manufacture the Duncan Hines Signature Swiss Chocolate Cake Mix, 16.5 oz. cartons and the Duncan Hines Swiss Moist Deluxe Swiss Chocolate (Chocolate Suizo) 16.5 oz. cartons. The incorrect labeling was used on this product declaring that these products were a NON-milk containing product.
Duncan Hines Swiss Chocolate Cake Mix was recalled because it was incorrectly labeled as non-milk containing when it actually contains milk. This affects consumers who have the product and may need to avoid it if they have dairy allergies.
The cake mix contains milk ingredients but was labeled as non-milk containing. This could cause allergic reactions in individuals sensitive to dairy products. The hazard is not a physical danger but a labeling error that affects dietary restrictions.

Check for the product name 'Duncan Hines Moist Deluxe Swiss Chocolate (Chocolate Suizo) Cake Mix' with a net weight of 16.5 oz. Look for the batch number '6521017E31' and best by date 'Jan 21 2017' on the packaging.
