Cal Yee Farm is a family-owned business that has operated for over 60 years, as stated on their official website.

On Wednesday, the company addressed the recall on its website, stating: 'We performed a voluntary recall of snack products due to outdated labels that failed to include a statement about allergens, which included undeclared milk, soy, wheat, sesame, FD&C #6 and almonds.'
Allergens are now correctly identified in food labels.
The situation has also been escalated to the highest level due to unreported milk being present.
