Prime Food Processing LLC is voluntarily recalling over 2,000 cases of two dessert buns due to the packaging not declaring milk, affecting nearly three dozen states.
Newsweek reached out to the company via phone on Friday night after hours and left a message.
Why It Matters
Numerous public health alerts and recalls have been issued this year due to potential damage, foodborne illness, contamination and undeclared food allergens.
Millions of Americans experience food sensitivities or allergies every year. According to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the nine “major” food allergens in the United States are eggs, milk, fish, wheat, soybeans, crustacean shellfish, sesame, tree nuts and peanuts.
“People who have an allergy or severe sensitivity to milk risk a serious or life-threatening allergic reaction if they consume these products,” the alert warns in part.
What To Know
According to the alert, the voluntary recall includes 2,243 cases of the dessert buns. The products were distributed to Asian grocery stores from April 2, 2025, to November 14, 2025.
Prime Food brand Lava Bun with Salted Egg Yolk with UPC number 97903705873- 24 oz. Item #PD4188 is impacted by the recall, with a lot code range of 25092-25318 and an expiration range of 07/26-03/27, the alert notes.

What People Are Saying
The alert, in part: “The issue was identified during an internal product review. The recall was initiated after it was discovered that packaging did not declare milk in the allergen statement. Subsequent investigation indicates the problem was caused by a temporary breakdown in the company’s label review process.”
What Happens Next
Customers who have purchased the recalled dessert buns are urged to return the uneaten product and packaging for a full refund, the alert says.
