Maine Firm Recalls Peanut Butter Malt Balls After Incorrect Ingredient Label Applied

Stonewall Kitchen of York, Maine is recalling a limited amount of their Peanut Butter Maltballs (6oz.) because the product contains undeclared allergens: Soy, Wheat, Peanuts.  The issue was discovered by a Stonewall Kitchen store staff member.  From the picture posted on the FDA website, it appears the back ingredient label was incorrect in that it did not match the front label or more importantly, the product inside the package.

This rookie mistake is way too common.  An Allergen Preventive Control for label application would need to implement robust monitoring and verification of this operation.
