Jolly Rancher Popsicle cases recalled over undeclared ingredient
The recalled single-serve popsicles might have undeclared milk in them
More than 130,000 cases of Popsicle Jolly Rancher Frozen Confection Pops are being recalled because they may contain an undeclared allergen.
The single-serve popsicles marked for individual sale in the recalled cases "may contain milk, which is not listed as an ingredient on the label," Unilever said in a Food and Drug Administration (FDA) allergy alert and in a company press release.

The flavor involved in the recall is "Green Apple Blue Raspberry Grape."
"These products are typically sold through channels such as ice cream trucks, concession stands, and grab-and-go freezers throughout the United States," the company said. "This recall does not apply to the 18-count Popsicle Jolly Rancher multi-pack products that are sold in grocery stores and retailers nationwide."
