This recall, initiated on 2/8/17, was expanded to include product that went to various retail chains. A label was presented in the last recall notice. While the ingredient statement is not presented in the notice, the front label is shown and this is a pre-printed label.
2/9/17
A Colorado company is recalling its pie product because the allergen statement was incorrect. Instead of saying it 'contains almond and eggs, the statement on the package said 'may contain almonds and eggs'. According to the FDA release - "The recall was initiated after it was discovered by the manufacturing facility that the almond and egg-containing product was distributed in packaging that did not have the correct product ingredient statement and allergen declaration. Subsequent investigation indicates the problem was caused by a temporary error in the packaging processes."
It is not stated whether the labels were preprinted or printed on demand on-site, but in either case, labels need to be always reviewed for errors such as this. With pre-printed labels manufactured by someone else, labels should be evaluated upon receipt. With in-house generated labels, more care is needed. Modifications to a print-on-demand label need to be approved and reviewed. Those modifying or reviewing labels must securitize every word, or as in this case, the word 'May' slipping into the allergen statement resulted in a recall.
