Timeline
| 3 May 2017 | Recall initiated by company | |
| 24 Jul 2017 | Classified by FDA | +82 days |

Reason for recall
The firm is recalling Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough as product labels failed to declare the allergens; wheat and Soy (from soy lecithin) as ingredients.
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.
