Plain-English summary

Semifreddi's Inc. is recalling its Chocolate Dipped Almond Biscotti product due to the presence of undeclared allergens. The recall affects various sizes of the biscotti wrapped in plastic with "Enjoy By" dates prior to 091614. The specific allergens involved are milk and soy, which were not properly declared on the product labeling.

The recall was initiated because the butter used in the product did not list milk as a subingredient, and the lecithin did not list soy as a subingredient. This mislabeling poses a risk to consumers with allergies to milk or soy.

The affected products were distributed to retail stores, cafes, and restaurants throughout California, as well as in Arizona, Colorado, Nebraska, New Jersey, New York, Oregon, and Washington. Consumers should check their pantries for this product and stop consuming it if they have allergies to milk or soy.
