Rise 'N Roll Bakery Issues Allergy Alert on Undeclared Egg in "Peanut Butter Spread"

The US FDA has issued a press release to confirm that Rise ‘N Roll Bakery of Middlebury, IN, is recalling its 16 ounce jars of "Peanut Butter Spread" because they may contain undeclared egg products. People who have allergies to egg run the risk of serious or life-threatening allergic reaction if they consume these products. The recalled "Peanut Butter Spread" was distributed in Indiana in retail stores. The product comes in a 16 ounce glass jar and is labeled RISE 'N ROLL PEANUT BUTTER SPREAD. The product does not bear a UPC code. No illnesses have been reported to date in connection with this problem. The recall was initiated after it was discovered that the egg-containing product was distributed in packaging that did not reveal the presence of egg. Subsequent investigation indicates the problem was caused by a temporary breakdown in the company’s production and the packaging processes.
