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.
