Goulibeur Cube tin box with pictures of France, containing small pure butter shortbreads Net weight 4.23 oz

Goulibeur recalled Goulibeur in a Class II action, the FDA tier for products that may cause temporary or medically reversible health effects on Jan 27, 2017.

The FDA listed the reason as an undeclared allergen: "This recall has been initiated due to missing information about the presence of the milk allergen in the list of ingredients. It is written that the products contain butter, but the food source for this ingredient (milk) is not indicated." 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 "U.S.: Maryland." Single-area recalls still warrant a kitchen check for anyone who shops within that footprint. The recalling firm is based in Poitiers, N/A. The recall covers 200 units of product. The FDA has Terminated this recall (first reported Mar 22, 2017), 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.
