I'm concerned about food safety and our general food systems, so I subscribe to the RSS feed for FDA recalls so I can monitor food products that might be in my cupboards or that I might be feeding to my household critters. Most recalls go undetected by the general media and consumers, so I like to pass along the news when I read about something that may have an impact on my fellow vegan shoppers!

A recent recall of Simple Foods, Inc, products grabbed my attention. The issue at hand is that otherwise vegan items are found to contain milk, although they were not labeled as such. If you do have any of the impacted items in your possession, you can return them to the place of purchase for refund or contact Simple Foods directly via their website. However, if the package is unopened, I suggest you consider including them in your holiday gifts to non-vegan friends or even donating them to a neighborhood food bank.

Please note: This is NOT to be confused with Simple Food, Inc, another great source of vegan goodies!
