Gilster-Mary Lee Corporation was cited for misbranding a HyVee brand Hamburger Chili Macaroni Skillet Meal that failed to declare milk as a major food allergen on its label, violating section 403(w) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act. The violation occurred because a line supplier mistakenly delivered incorrect cartons to the production line in February 2023, and the lab technician failed to verify that the correct cartons were used before manufacturing and packaging. The company had initiated a recall in March 2023 after a customer notification of the mislabeling. This incident is part of a pattern of non-compliance, as the company has initiated three other recalls involving undeclared major food allergens since 2019.
