Blank Slate Creamery Recalls Vegan Non-Dairy Frozen Dessert Coconut Fudge Sandwiches Over Undeclared Egg Allergen

ANN ARBOR, Mich. (August 4, 2026). The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has announced that Blank Slate Creamery is voluntarily recalling its Vegan Non-Dairy Frozen Dessert Coconut Fudge Sandwiches because they may contain undeclared egg. According to the agency, the recall followed a supplier recall involving aquafaba powder. Fortunately, the FDA said no illnesses have been reported.

Blank Slate Creamery recall: quick summary

As a result, the recall affects products sold at three retail locations in Ann Arbor and Brighton, Michigan, with specific Best By dates. According to the FDA, consumers with egg allergies should not consume the affected frozen desserts and should return them to the place of purchase for a full refund.

Regulatory context

Undeclared allergens remain one of the leading causes of food recalls in the United States. Although many allergen recalls stem from packaging or labeling errors, others begin further upstream in the supply chain when ingredient suppliers identify contamination or labeling issues.

As this recall demonstrates, ingredient traceability enables manufacturers to identify affected finished products and remove them from the marketplace before illnesses occur. In addition, supplier verification, batch tracking, and transparent recall communication play an important role in protecting consumers when supply chain issues arise.

This recall highlights the importance of supplier oversight and ingredient traceability throughout the food supply chain. Even when manufacturers follow established production practices, upstream ingredient issues can require rapid action to protect consumers and maintain confidence in food safety systems.
