The Canadian Food Inspection Agency warned that its Vegan Protein Puff Chili & Lime Flavor contains milk that is not listed on the label. The recall covers 50‑gram bags sold nationwide and online, with no adverse reactions reported yet.
The Canadian Food Inspection Agency ( CFIA) issued a recall warning on September 27, 2026, after testing revealed an undeclared milk ingredient in Smarter Snack's Vegan Protein Puff Chili & Lime flavored 50‑gram bags.
The product, sold both in stores and online across Canada, has not had a reported number of units sold. According to the recall notice, the CFIA cautions consumers who are allergic or sensitive to milk that the snack includes this ingredient, which was not declared on the label. The agency said the product "may cause a serious or life‑threatening reaction" and warned that affected products should not be served, sold, or distributed.
CFIA Food Safety Investigation Launched
The warning was triggered by laboratory test results identifying milk proteins in the puff. While no adverse reactions have been reported to date, the CFIA is conducting a food safety investigation that could lead to a broader recall of related products. This is not the first time the agency has issued a recall for these puffs. An earlier recall alert was released on September 5, 2026, following a consumer complaint that highlighted the undeclared ingredient.
Smarter Snack markets the product as a vegan option, which makes the presence of milk particularly surprising. The company has not yet released an official statement or confirmed the number of units impacted. Consumers are advised to check the UPC and product codes listed in the CFIA's recall notice to determine if they have purchased the affected bags. Products can be returned to retailers for a refund or disposed of safely.
The CFIA encourages anyone who suspects they may have consumed the product to monitor for symptoms and seek medical attention if needed. The agency also stresses the importance of accurate labeling in preventing allergic reactions. Further updates on the investigation and potential recall scope will be posted on the CFIA website and through local health authorities. For more information, visit the CFIA's recall page or contact the agency's consumer safety hotline.
Consumer Caution Remains In Effect
The recall remains in effect until further notice, and consumers must exercise caution until the investigation concludes. The agency's press release emphasized that the intent of the recall is to prevent any risk to public health. No shortages of alternative products are expected during the investigation period.
