Ub INC DBA United Bakery & CO recalled United Bakery Grissini Parmesan Bread Sticks, 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 22, 2014.

The FDA listed the reason as an undeclared allergen: "Internal label review found egg is an ingredient of Grano Padano Cheese used in Parmesan Bread Sticks, but not declared in product ingredient statement or allergen statement." 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 "CA, HI, WA, NJ, OH,." A multi-state footprint means the same lot can surface in households far from the producer. The recalling firm is based in West Sacramento, CA. The recall covers 14, 356 cases - sold in 18 pack cases and 12 pack cases of product. The FDA has Terminated this recall (first reported Jun 18, 2014), 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.
