Companies usually start a recall weeks before the FDA classifies and publishes it; the gap above is that lag.
Reason for recall
The label does not identify all ingredients including a chocolate containing soy lecithin, a potential allergen.
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.
