Uncle Buck's Fish Batter Mix is Recalled

Washington -- The U.S. Food and Drug Administration announced the recall of some varieties of Uncle Buck's-brand fish batter mixes because of an ingredient labeling error.

The FDA said Williams Foods Inc. of Lenexa, Kan., is voluntarily recalling 22-ounce canisters of Uncle Buck's Light 'n Krispy Original and Light 'n Krispy Hot & Spicy Fish Batter mixes and 8-ounce pouches of Uncle Buck's Light 'n Krispy Original Fish Batter mix.

The FDA said the products, sold nationwide through Bass Pro Shops retail stores, contain undeclared milk, posing a health hazard for people allergic to milk products.

The recall applies to lot numbers 31207A11, 35107A11, 06308A11 (all 22-ounce canisters) and 3530716 (8-ounce pouches). Only the "Light 'n Krispy" version of the Bass Pro Shop's Uncle Buck's Fish Batter Mixes are affected by the recall.

Consumers can return the recalled products for a full refund or can contact the company for additional information at 800-255-6736.
