Candy Corn packed for Shapiro Produce stores; 15 oz; clear plastic container; UPC 0 18586 00114 4; Best by date 3/8/2023

Arcade Industries, INC. recalled Candy Corn packed for Shapiro Produce stores; 15 oz; clear plastic container; UPC 0 18586 00114 4; Best by date 3/8/2023 in a Class I action — the FDA's most serious tier, reserved for products with a reasonable probability of causing serious health consequences or death on Sep 23, 2022.

The FDA listed the reason as an undeclared allergen: "Product contains undeclared egg." Allergen mislabeling is the leading cause of U.S. food recalls, because a missing declaration can trigger a reaction in someone who reads the label and believes the product is safe.

The product reached multiple states, recorded by the FDA as "MA, CT." A multi-state footprint means the same lot can surface in households far from the producer. The recalling firm is based in Auburn, MA. The recall covers 60 cases of product. The FDA has Terminated this recall (first reported Oct 12, 2022), its final lifecycle state, indicating the agency considers the corrective action resolved. The historical record remains useful for tracking a brand's recall pattern over time.
