Egg Salad on Wheat wrapped in clear film, 5 oz. Undeclared allergens - Wheat, Soy (oil) and eggs

Crescent Vending CO. INC. recalled Egg Salad on Wheat wrapped in clear film, 5 oz. in a Class II action, the FDA tier for products that may cause temporary or medically reversible health effects on Nov 4, 2016.

The FDA listed the reason as an undeclared allergen: "Crescent vending sandwiches failed to declare allergen ingredients: wheat, soy (oil) and 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.

Distribution was limited; the FDA record lists "Distributed in the state of Pennslyvania." Single-area recalls still warrant a kitchen check for anyone who shops within that footprint. The recalling firm is based in Oreland, PA. The recall covers 13 sandwiches of product. The FDA has Terminated this recall (first reported Dec 28, 2016), 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.
