Reason for recall

Zingerman's BAKEHOUSE pastry labels were found not identifying the source of butter and cream ingredients as milk and lacking identity of soy allergen found in 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.
