What happened
Blank Slate Creamery recalled its Vegan Non-Dairy Frozen Dessert Coconut Fudge Sandwiches (4.5 oz) on August 4, 2026 — the vegan product contains undeclared egg. Affected best-by dates are 11/23/26 and 1/9/27, sold at three stores in Ann Arbor and Brighton, Michigan.
Return for a full refund; no illnesses reported.
A dessert whose entire promise is what it leaves out, recalled for what got in.
Why it happened
- Undeclared egg in vegan coconut fudge sandwiches — best-by 11/23/26 and 1/9/27; three Michigan stores; recalled 4 Aug 2026
- The vegan label is the product — the egg undoes the one sentence the buyer paid for
- Three stores is a small map with a big betrayal — the allergy reads the claim, not the batch
The lesson
A vegan product is a negative claim — defined by what it excludes. One undeclared egg collapses the whole promise; the label's absence is the hazard's presence.
