Georgia Firm Recalls Fruit Breads Due to Label Reprint That Missed Egg Allergen

Hillside Orchard Farms, Tiger GA,  is recalling various flavors of their 23oz Fruit Breads & 7.5 oz Fritters due to an undeclared allergen of Egg.  The issue was identified during an investigation by the FDA, where the firm was made aware that the label failed to include the allergen egg had been left of the label during a reprint of the labels.

This is where properly applied Preventive Controls should be utilized; first to review labels as they are created, then when they are received, and finally when they are placed on the product.  Too often, label design, receipt and application are taken for granted.
