Williams West & Witt's Products Company recalled #222-C in a Class II action, the FDA tier for products that may cause temporary or medically reversible health effects on Nov 28, 2012.

The FDA listed the reason as an undeclared allergen: "The ingredient label did not identify the source of butter and cream ingredient as milk, an allergen. Consumers with a milk allergy run the risk of serious or life-threatening allergic reaction if they consume these products." 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 "USA including IN, IL, KY, MA, NY, WI." A multi-state footprint means the same lot can surface in households far from the producer. The recalling firm is based in Michigan City, IN. The recall covers 759 lbs of product. The FDA has Terminated this recall (first reported Dec 26, 2012), 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.
