Timeline
| 2 Apr 2015 | Recall initiated by company | |
| 21 May 2015 | Classified by FDA | +49 days |
| 27 May 2015 | 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
Firm discovered a Carrot Cake scale label that did not print the ingredient statement in its entirety and failed to include the allergen statement "CONTAINS: WHEAT, MILK & SOY, EGGS, WALNUTS, RAISINS."
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.
