What is this? Some quinoa packages list milk on the ingredient label, but the outside of the box does not say “may contain milk.”

What's happening? The label on the outside of the box is missing the milk warning, even though milk is inside the package.

Does this affect me? If you have a milk allergy, you could buy this quinoa by mistake.

What should I do? Check the ingredient list on the package. If you are unsure, ask your pharmacist or doctor.
