FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE – January 6
, 2011 – Bloch’s Best Inc doing business as Laromme of
Monsey, NY is recalling Laromme brand Vanilla Rugelach in 14 oz.
round containers because it may contain undeclared eggs. People who
have an allergy or severe sensitivity eggs run the risk of serious
or life-threatening allergic reaction if they consume these
products.
Laromme brand Vanilla Rugelach was distributed in retail stores
throughout Massachusetts, Maryland, and New Jersey.
The product comes in a 14 oz. round clear plastic container with
UPC 87062500954-8. A total of 10 cases, with 18 containers each,
were distributed between November 2, 2011 and December 22,
2011.
To date, one report of illness has been reported.
The recall was initiated after it was discovered that product
containing egg was distributed in packaging that did not reveal the
presence of egg. Subsequent investigation indicates the problem was
caused by a change in the label design used by our supplier.
The product label has been corrected to properly identify all
ingredients, including any allergens, for future production of this
product. Stores which received the product have been instructed to
remove it from their shelves.
Consumers who purchased 14 oz. Laromme Vanilla Rugelach are
