Companies usually start a recall weeks before the FDA classifies and publishes it; the gap above is that lag.

Reason for recall

The product was not labeled with ingredients nor with an allergen declaration; the carton only contained one label which states the product identity by the second label with ingredients and allergen information was inadvertently left off. The product is for food service and is sold in cartons of 4 x 3 lb. individual pouches and samples, not for retail sales.

Food allergen labelling is required by US law for the nine major allergens. A product recalled for an undeclared allergen is only a risk to people with that allergy; everyone else can consume it safely.
