MARYLAND - Wawa has recalled select 16-ounce (pint) bottled beverages because they may contain an undeclared milk allergen. The recall was initiated after Wawa identified and corrected a temporary equipment issue at a manufacturing facility that may have resulted in milk being introduced into the product lines. While no illnesses have been reported in connection with this recall, the presence of milk poses a significant health risk to individuals with a milk allergy or severe sensitivity.
