Pastillage (gum paste) Flowers

Sugar Flowers Plus recalled Pastillage (gum paste) Flowers 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 Dec 7, 2012.

The FDA listed the reason as an undeclared allergen: "Sugar Flowers Plus Inc of Glendale, CA is recalling Cake Decors Pastillage (gum paste) Flowers because of the undeclared use of egg white wash as a glue for the inner petals of flowers." 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 broad: the FDA record describes it as "Nationwide," which places this among the wider-reach recalls on the site. Consumers across the affected area should check product on hand. The recalling firm is based in Glendale, CA. The recall covers N/A of product. The FDA has Terminated this recall (first reported Jan 23, 2013), 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.
