What Happened in the Recall?
A snack product is under a national food recall in Canada because of an undeclared allergen. The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) issued a Class 1 recall on October 23, 2026, for Plantropy brand Jack’d Up Bites Crispy Protein Bites in Jalapeno flavour.
The concern is milk that is present in the product but missing from its label. For people with a milk allergy or sensitivity, the product may cause a serious or life-threatening reaction.
Which Products Are Affected?
The recall covers two package sizes distributed nationally and online: 40-gram and 100-gram bags. Consumers should check the product name, package size, UPC and code against the official recall notice.
The affected products have a best-before date of December 21, 2027. The 40 g package carries UPC 6 28693 63539 4, while the 100 g package carries UPC 6 28693 63508 0. Four product codes are listed in the CFIA notice, so checking the full product details is important.
The agency said CFIA test results triggered the recall. The CFIA said no reactions associated with consumption of these products had been reported. That does not mean the products are safe for people who must avoid milk.
What Should Consumers Do?
Anyone who has the affected snacks should not consume them if they are allergic or sensitive to milk. The CFIA advises consumers not to serve, use, sell or distribute recalled products and to throw them away or return them to the place of purchase.
Consumers should check the official notice carefully to confirm whether their package is included.
The CFIA is investigating the issue and checking that recalled products are removed from the marketplace. The investigation could lead to additional recalls.
TwikUp's Perspective
This recall highlights why checking ingredient labels matters, particularly for people managing food allergies. Packaging can look familiar, and a product marketed as a protein snack may still contain an allergen that some consumers need to avoid.
For households buying snacks for children, guests or people with dietary restrictions, checking recall notices alongside labels adds another practical layer of protection. Consumers should rely on the exact product identifiers in the official alert rather than judging safety by flavour, appearance or brand alone.
The key message is straightforward: verify the package, follow the recall instructions and monitor official updates as the investigation continues.
