VA Company Recalls Egg-like Product for Containing Egg

Cuisine Solutions, Sterling, VA is initiating a voluntary recall of its JUST Egg flavored plant-based “bites” products due to undeclared allergens. A limited number of 2-pouch retail packages may contain an incorrect sealed pouch containing whole-egg and milk products. 

 

The egg recall occurred when a packaging error was made where product containing actual egg was put into the box.

  

From the company website, we can see this is a supplier related issue "We use third-party facilities to manufacture our products, so we cannot guarantee that our allergen-free products are made on designated allergen-free lines or in allergen-free facilities. For example, JUST Egg is egg-free but is made in a facility where egg is present. In order to lower the risk of incidental contact with allergens from other products manufactured in the same facility, we require that our third-party manufacturers employ rigorous sanitation, inspection, and good manufacturing practices."  

The label JUST Egg, but it is egg flavored and does not contain egg (not sure why it is not called NO Egg).  So what does the properly labeled product contain?
