This Week in Mislabeled Products for Week Ending February 8, 2020

Two print-and-apply labels developed incorrectly in that they missed allergens.

New Seasons Market has issued a recall for a total of 30 Grab N' Go Vegetarian Lasagna w/ Gluten-Free Pasta units (UPC 52390), with packed on dates 2/1-2/3, and sell by dates 2/6-2/9.  This product is being voluntarily recalled due to the presence of an undeclared allergen (soy).



Whole Foods Market is voluntarily recalling select bundt cakes and chocolate dipped cookies from stores in Kentucky, Maryland, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Virginia and Washington D.C. because they contain undeclared milk.  I guess they just missed the milk as an ingredient when designing the labels.  (But notice the precautionary label - made in a facility that processes 'everything'...so like it's a cake facility....chocolate cakes...fish cakes, crab cakes,.....)
