“People who have an allergy or severe sensitivity to egg run the risk of serious or life-threatening allergic reactions if they consume these products,” said 529 Commerce’s recall notice, posted to the FDA’s website. “The recall was initiated after a consumer reported an allergic reaction after consuming the product.
