Zarlengo's chocolate gelato omits soy from the contains statement

Zarlengo's Chocolate Gelato is being recalled because soy lecithin appears in the ingredients statement but soy is not declared in the contains statement.

What this means for you

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: Allergen mislabeling on a common allergen: soy appears in the ingredient list but is missing from the contains statement, which the rubric places at High.
