Reason for recall
Ultradent is recalling 36 lots of cinnamon flavored Xylishield gum sold in cartons containing 60 individual pieces as well as within the Xylishield dental care kit due to the omission of the major allergen Soy as a sub-ingredient in the ingredients statement. They are also recalling a single lot of spearmint flavored gum as it was accidentally manufactured with cinnamon flavored product.
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.
