The presence of egg, an undeclared allergen, poses a significant health risk to anyone with an egg allergy. While egg is a common ingredient in many foods, strict labeling laws require its presence to be clearly indicated so consumers can avoid it if necessary.
An allergic reaction to egg can include symptoms such as hives, swelling, stomach pain, vomiting, difficulty breathing, and in severe cases, anaphylaxis—a life-threatening condition that requires immediate medical attention.
If you have purchased or received this product and have an allergy to egg:
Do not consume the product.
Dispose of it safely, or
Return it to the place of purchase, if applicable.
Hotels, restaurants, and institutions are advised to:
Stop using or serving the product immediately.
Remove it from inventory and follow disposal or return procedures according to the supplier’s guidance.
Consumers are urged to inform others in their household or business who may be at risk, and to review ingredient labels closely, especially when products are labeled in foreign languages.
