Bagged Popcorn with Various Allergens Recalled Due to No Allergen Label

Avery’s Savory Popcorn LLC of Dallas, Texas is recalling Gourmet Popcorn, ALL Flavors because it may contain undeclared specific type of allergen. People who have an allergy or severe sensitivity to specific type of allergen (e.g., milk, soy, peanuts, tree nuts {almonds, walnuts, pecans, cashews}, and sulfites) run the risk of serious or life-threatening allergic reaction if they consume these products.

According to the FDA release, "The recall was initiated after it was discovered that product containing (the allergen) was distributed in packaging that did not reveal the presence of the allergen (soy, milk, peanuts, tree nuts). Subsequent investigation indicates the problem was caused by a temporary breakdown in the company's production and packaging processes."  From the posted picture, there was either no statement, or someone forgot to stick a label with the allergens on the pre-labeled bag (containing no information about ingredients or nutrition.)
