Reason for recall
During an inspection by the Kentucky Department for Public Health, the firm was informed that their product lacks an ingredient statement. Due to the lack of the ingredient statement the firm failed to declare the following direct allergens: peanuts, tree nuts, soy, wheat, and yellow #5. The products also lack the declaration that they are packaged in a facility that handles milk and eggs.
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.
