A breaded okra product distributed in Georgia may contain milk, Georgia Agriculture Commissioner Tommy Irvin warned Tuesday.

The Pictsweet Company, in Bells, Tenn., is recalling specific lots of Pictsweet 32-ounce Clear Bag Breaded Okra, Irvin said in a press release. The product may contain a milk ingredient not listed of the product packaging label. People who have an allergy or severe sensitivity to milk, run the risk of serious allergic reaction if they consume the product.

The recall affects only bags with the production codes 1400B, 1550B, 1660B, 1730B, 1870B, 2030B, 2350B and 2500B.

Consumers can return the okra to the place of purchase for a full refund.

Pictsweet last week recalled frozen peas that may contain shards of glass.
