Zarlengo Italian Ice — Class II: Zarlengo's Chocolate Chocolate Chip Gelato packaged in multiple sizes (6 fl oz cups, 16 fl
Zarlengo Italian Ice has initiated a Class II recall for its Chocolate Chocolate Chip Gelato due to a labeling error where Soy Lecithin is listed in the ingredients, but soy is not declared in the product's 'Contains' statement. Affected packaging includes various sizes ranging from 6 fl oz cups to 2-gallon buckets.
This recall affects Zarlengo Italian Ice, food labeling and QA departments, and distributors or retailers handling the specified gelato products.
The discrepancy between the ingredient list and the allergen statement represents a compliance failure regarding allergen declaration. Regulatory teams likely view this as a significant misbranding issue, as the omission of a known allergen (soy) from the summary statement poses a risk to consumers with sensitivities, even if the ingredient is technicality listed elsewhere on the label.
Review all product labeling to ensure that specific allergens identified in the ingredient list are mirrored in the 'Contains' statement. Heighten inspection protocols for labeling accuracy during the packaging phase for multiple SKU sizes.
