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

Reason for recall

1.- Undeclared allergen: Milk 2.- Unrecorded temperatures after thermal processes.

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.
