More than a dozen varieties of soup, rice and porridge mixes have been recalled in the US for containing three undeclared allergens.

NatureMills US Inc is recalling 17 of its items sold nationwide because they contain wheat, milk and sesame, which were not listed in the labels.

The company based in Prosper, Texas, announced on Tuesday that ‘people who have an allergy or severe sensitivity to these allergens run the risk of serious or life-threatening allergic reactions if they consume these products’.

NatureMills rice mixes under the recall include the Idly Chilli Powder, Sesame Rice Mix, Dal Garlic Rice Mix, Moringa Rice Mix, Curry Leaf Rice Mix, Vallarai Rice Mix and Horsegram Rice Mix.

Its affected soups are the Wonderberry Leaf Soup, Moringa Leaf Soup, Avarampoo Soup and Horsegram Soup.

Spice mixes and powders that are recalled include the Traditional Sambar Powder and the Traditional Rasam Powder.

The company’s Black Kavuni Porridge Mix, as well as its Garlic Vadam, Tomato Vadam and Rice Papad, are also recalled.

NatureMills issued the recall after a routine audit found that the three ingredients were missing from the labels.

‘The issue was the result of a oversight in the packaging process,’ stated the notice from the US Food & Drug Administration (FDA), which is responsible for protecting public health across the nation.

‘Immediate corrective measures have been implemented.’

Consumers with allergies to the ingredients are advised to throw away the products and contact NatureMills for a replacement or full refund.
