The FDA listed the reason as an undeclared allergen: "Product contains undeclared milk." 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 "Wegmans stores located in New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Virginia, Maryland and Massachusetts." A multi-state footprint means the same lot can surface in households far from the producer. The recalling firm is based in Rochester, NY. The recall covers Placek (half loaf): 49,339, Placek (whole loaf): 50,749 of product. The FDA has Terminated this recall (first reported Nov 21, 2018), its final lifecycle state, indicating the agency considers the corrective action resolved.
