MI Company Recalls Gelato for Undeclared Egg Allergen Due to Formulation Change

Zingerman’s Creamery of Ann Arbor, MI is recalling 173 pints of Paw Paw Gelato, 50 quarts of Paw Paw Gelato, 58 pints of Harvest Pumpkin Gelato, 10 quarts of Harvest Pumpkin Gelato that are currently out in commerce because it may contain undeclared Egg allergen.  The recall was initiated after it was discovered that Paw Paw and Harvest Pumpkin Gelato containing ‘Egg’ was distributed in packaging that ‘Egg’ was included on the “made in facility” allergens but not included on the ingredients and allergen declaration. Earlier this year, Zingerman's Creamery made some recipe changes to our gelato bases to include egg yolk, to improve the overall quality. All of our gelato labels were updated to reflect the egg yolk change as well. However, our seasonal flavors (Paw Paw and Harvest Pumpkin) were accidentally overlooked. Subsequent investigation indicates the problem was caused by human error of mislabeling.  (This is a label redesign oversight).

Vegan Drumsticks and Nuggets Recalled for Undeclared Egg Due to Wrong Ingredient Addition

Da Cheng Vegetarian Food Inc. of El Monte, CA, is expanding its recall of Da Cheng Vegan Drumsticks and Vegan Golden Nuggets because it was found to contain the undeclared allergen of 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. Subsequent investigation indicates the problem was caused by manufacturer’s negligence on the production assembly line. Their employee used the wrong ingredient when mixing the materials together that caused this issue. The employee is no longer with the manufacturer’s company anymore.  One case of an allergic reaction to egg was reported.

Having the responsible employee leave does not mean the issue is fixed.  An Allergen Preventive Control must be implemented to prevent the issue from occurring.
