Wawa, the convenience store chain, has issued a recall for four types of its 16-ounce bottled beverages due to an undeclared milk allergen. The recall affects Wawa Iced Tea Lemon, Iced Tea Diet Lemon, Diet Lemonade, and Fruit Punch. These products were distributed to stores in Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland, New Jersey, and Virginia.
The recall was prompted by a temporary equipment issue that may have introduced milk into the beverage lines. This poses a significant health risk to individuals with milk allergies. According to Wawa, no illnesses have been reported, and the recall is a precautionary measure to ensure customer safety.
The affected products have been removed from shelves, and Wawa is offering refunds in the form of gift cards. Customers are advised to dispose of the beverages and contact Wawa’s Customer Contact Center at 1-800-444-9292 for refunds or further inquiries. More details, including a list of impacted stores, are available on Wawa’s official website.
The recall highlights the importance of allergen labeling and has sparked discussions about potential regulatory changes. Wawa has corrected the equipment issue and emphasized its commitment to customer safety.
