CBS News • • business
Key Points:
- Wawa is recalling four 16-ounce drinks—Wawa Iced Tea Lemon, Wawa Iced Tea Diet Lemon, Wawa Diet Lemonade, and Wawa Fruit Punch—due to a possible undeclared milk allergen.
- The recall affects stores in Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland, New Jersey, and Virginia, including at least 11 stores in Philadelphia.
- The recall was initiated after a temporary equipment issue potentially introduced milk into the beverages, prompting removal of the affected products from shelves and disposal.
- No illnesses have been reported, but the FDA warns that people with milk allergies could face serious or life-threatening reactions if they consume these drinks.
- The recalled products were sold in a limited number of stores, with Wawa Iced Tea Lemon available in 123 stores and the other drinks distributed in fewer locations across the affected states.
