Reason for recall
Labeling for Croissants and Chocolate Croissants fails to declare egg in the ingredients list or allergen information. The croissants are manufactured with an egg wash.
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.
