Companies usually start a recall weeks before the FDA classifies and publishes it; the gap above is that lag.
Reason for recall
The ingredient label did not identify the source of butter and cream ingredient as milk, an allergen. Consumers with a milk allergy run the risk of serious or life-threatening allergic reaction if they consume these products.
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.
