Kouign-Amann Pastry available in plastic clamshell 4-packs with Whole Foods Market scale labels, a PLU code 26739400000

The FDA listed the reason as an undeclared allergen: "Potential to contain undeclared eggs" 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 "Colorado, Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska, New Mexico, Texas and Utah." A multi-state footprint means the same lot can surface in households far from the producer. The recalling firm is based in Austin, TX. The recall covers 102 units of product. The FDA has Terminated this recall (first reported Aug 19, 2020), 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.
