Iceland’s food safety authority, Matvælastofnun, has issued a warning to consumers regarding Stjarna protein popcorn in the salted caramel flavor.
The agency advises individuals with lactose intolerance or milk allergies to avoid the product due to the presence of undeclared milk ingredients.
The alert targets a specific product line rather than a broad recall, indicating a labeling or formulation error rather than a systemic contamination event.
Matvælastofnun’s intervention underscores the strict regulatory oversight applied to food safety in Iceland, where accurate allergen labeling is critical for consumer protection.
This incident adds to a broader context of food safety scrutiny in the region.
Recent reports have highlighted stricter controls on the import of meat and animal products, reflecting heightened vigilance across the food supply chain.
