FDA Recalls Ready-to-Eat Classic Kettle Korn

A release by the FDA says certain popcorn is being recalled due to an undeclared allergen in the product.  The release reads as follows:

ConAgra Foods, Inc., (NYSE: CAG) in cooperation with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is voluntarily recalling packages of its Orville Redenbacher’s Classic Kettle Korn flavor ready-to-eat popcorn that may contain an undeclared allergen, milk.
