Vegan Coconut Fudge Sandwiches Recalled Over Undeclared Egg

Vegan Coconut Fudge Sandwiches sold in Michigan are being recalled after a vegan ingredient was found to contain undeclared egg. Learn about affected products, recall details, allergy risks, and what consumers should do.

Consumers who purchased certain Vegan Non-Dairy Frozen Dessert Coconut Fudge Sandwiches in Michigan are being urged to check their products after a recall was announced because the dessert may contain undeclared egg.

The recall involves a product made by Blank Slate Creamery, a Michigan-based ice cream maker. The company announced the recall on Aug. 4, 2026, after learning that one of the ingredients used in the dessert had itself been recalled because it may contain egg.

Although no illnesses connected to the coconut fudge sandwiches had been reported at the time of the announcement, the presence of undeclared egg can pose a serious health risk to people with egg allergies.

Which Vegan Coconut Fudge Sandwiches Are Recalled?

The recalled product is a 4.5-ounce Vegan Non-Dairy Frozen Dessert Coconut Fudge Sandwich made by Blank Slate Creamery.

The affected products were sold at three retail locations in Ann Arbor and Brighton, Michigan. Consumers can identify the recalled sandwiches by checking the packaging and best-by dates.

The affected best-by dates are:

• Nov. 23, 2026
• Jan. 9, 2027

The sandwiches are packaged in clear plastic containers.

Consumers who purchased a product matching the recalled description are advised not to eat it if they have an egg allergy or if they are uncertain whether their product is affected. Blank Slate Creamery is asking customers to return recalled products to the store where they were purchased for a full refund.

Why Was a Vegan Dessert Recalled for Egg?

The recall stems from an ingredient used in the frozen dessert called aquafaba powder.

Aquafaba is commonly used as a plant-based substitute for egg whites. It is particularly popular in vegan cooking and baking because it can provide some of the functional properties associated with egg whites.

In this case, however, the supplier's aquafaba powder was discovered to potentially contain real egg.

The ingredient was sold under the Rooted in Rare Aquafaba Powder brand. Because the ingredient was used in the coconut fudge sandwiches, the discovery prompted a secondary recall of products made with the affected powder.

Aquafaba Powder Was Also Recalled

The ingredient recall began on July 29, 2026, when 529 Commerce LLC of Parkland, Florida, announced the recall of approximately 3,860 units of Rooted in Rare Aquafaba Powder.

The recalled powder was sold in 4-ounce and 12-ounce foil pouches. According to the recall information, the product was distributed nationwide through Amazon and the company's website between June 2025 and July 2026.

Consumers can identify the affected aquafaba powder using the following UPC numbers:

• 4-ounce pouch: 199284530959
• 12-ounce pouch: 199284306226

The recalled powder included best-by dates of Dec. 14, 2026, and Dec. 12, 2027.

The ingredient recall was initiated after a customer reported experiencing an allergic reaction. The company said it subsequently ended its relationship with the supplier associated with the contamination.

Customers who have the recalled aquafaba powder are being instructed to discard it and seek a refund through Amazon or the company's customer service.

Why Undeclared Egg Can Be Dangerous

Egg is a common food allergen, particularly among children, and even a small amount can cause a reaction in someone who is highly sensitive.

Food allergy symptoms can develop within minutes or several hours after exposure. Reactions vary from person to person and may include relatively mild symptoms such as hives, nasal congestion, stomach discomfort or other digestive problems.

More serious reactions can affect breathing and circulation.

According to the Mayo Clinic, a severe allergic reaction can develop into anaphylaxis, a potentially life-threatening emergency. Symptoms may include swelling of the airways, difficulty breathing, abdominal symptoms, rapid heartbeat and a significant drop in blood pressure.

People with a known severe egg allergy are generally advised to follow their individual emergency action plan if they are exposed to an allergen.

Anyone experiencing signs of a severe allergic reaction should seek emergency medical attention immediately. People who have been prescribed an epinephrine autoinjector should use it according to their emergency medical instructions.

What Should Consumers Do?

Consumers who purchased the recalled Vegan Coconut Fudge Sandwiches should check the product packaging and best-by date before consuming the dessert.

If the product matches the recall information, it should not be eaten by anyone with an egg allergy. Consumers should return the product to the store where it was purchased to request a refund.

People who purchased Rooted in Rare Aquafaba Powder should also check the product size, UPC number and best-by date against the recall information.

The recalled aquafaba powder should be discarded rather than consumed.

Consumers who have questions about the aquafaba powder recall can contact Rooted in Rare customer service at 1-888-693-1013 or through the company's listed customer service email.

No Illnesses Reported From the Ice Cream Sandwiches

At the time of the Blank Slate Creamery announcement, the company said it had not received reports of illnesses associated with the recalled coconut fudge sandwiches.

However, the absence of reported illnesses does not mean the recalled product is safe for consumers with egg allergies. The reason for the recall is the possibility that an undeclared allergen is present in a product marketed as non-dairy and vegan.

Consumers with food allergies should therefore take recall notices seriously and verify affected products before eating them.

Key Takeaway

The Vegan Non-Dairy Frozen Dessert Coconut Fudge Sandwich recall highlights how an ingredient recall can lead to additional recalls involving finished food products.

The Michigan-made coconut fudge sandwiches were recalled because they were made using aquafaba powder that may contain undeclared egg. The affected sandwiches were sold in parts of Michigan and carry specific best-by dates.

Consumers who purchased the recalled products should check their packaging, avoid eating affected items and follow the manufacturer's refund instructions. Anyone with a known egg allergy should be especially cautious about products involved in this recall.
