Singh And Singh Distributors INC. recalled Crispy Punjabi Cookies, By TWI Foods, Net Wt. 800g/1.76 lb, Manufactured by TWI Foods, Inc. 1-866-9-CRISPY, www.crispyjustbaked.com, UPC 627 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 Aug 6, 2012.

The FDA listed the reason as an undeclared allergen: "Product contains milk products and labeling does not declare milk as an ingredient. Milk is an 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 "New Jersey and New York." A multi-state footprint means the same lot can surface in households far from the producer. The recalling firm is based in Carteret, NJ. The recall covers 48 cases (14 clamshells/case) of product. The FDA has Terminated this recall (first reported Sep 26, 2012), 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.
