MA Company Recalls Candy Corn for Undeclared Egg

Arcade Snacks of Auburn, MA is recalling its 15 ounce packages of Candy Corn because they may contain undeclared egg.  The recall was initiated after it was discovered that the egg-containing product was distributed in packaging that did not reveal the presence of egg.

So is there an candy corn formulation that contains egg or was this a completely different product that was mislabeled?
