Walnut Delights 6 Pack Net Weight: 9 oz. PLU #69690 UPC: 2 69690 20399 7 Giant Eagle, LLC, Pittsburgh, PA

Giant Eagle, INC. recalled Walnut Delights 6 Pack 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 Apr 28, 2016.

The FDA listed the reason as an undeclared allergen: "Giant Eagle discovered that the scale label fails to declare the milk ingredient. The allergen statement does not declare the milk allergen." 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 "IN, OH, MD, PA, WV." A multi-state footprint means the same lot can surface in households far from the producer. The recalling firm is based in Pittsburgh, PA. The recall covers 288 units of product. The FDA has Terminated this recall (first reported Jun 8, 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.
