People who have an allergy to milk may run the risk of serious or life-threatening reactions if they consume this product. No illnesses have been reported to date to this Department in connection with this product.

The "Meiqili Durian Candy" is packaged in a 12 oz. (340 g) plastic bag with a clear window. The product does not have a use-by code but it is labeled as a product of China and has a UPC code of 4-897055-795465-0. The candy was distributed to retail stores in New York and New Jersey.
