Hormel Foods is recalling nearly 1,000 pounds of their Spiced Ham with Natural Juices due to the potential presence of undeclared milk, a major allergen for many people.
Why Is Hormel Ham Being Recalled?
Deli workers noticed what appeared to be cheese in a specific batch of Spiced Ham, even though the label doesn't list any cheese or milk derivatives. This potentially contaminated batch was produced on November 17, 2023, and shipped throughout Pennsylvania.
