Timeline

15 Apr 2016	Recall initiated by company

8 Jun 2016	Published in enforcement report	+6 days

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

Reason for recall

The firm failed to include the allergens, Milk and Soy, on the label.

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.
