Reason for recall
Firm was notified by their contract manufacturer that a voluntary recall had been issued by the raw material supplier because certain cellulase enzymes have been found to be contaminated with Chloramphenicol.
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.
