Dive Summary:
- The FDA flexed some muscle as it entered into a consent agreement with Butterfly Bakery Inc. after the company failed to properly label and disclose all ingredients.
- Butterfly bakes primarily sugar and gluten free snacks, however lab results from the FDA showed that sugar was indeed present and there was also milk, which wasn't listed anywhere on the product.
- The initial letter of warning was sent in 2011, however after failing to comply, the company is now banned from producing food until the FDA feels it is in total compliance.
From the article:
“This injunction demonstrates that the FDA will seek enforcement action against companies that mislead consumers on the products they purchase," said Melinda K. Plaisier, the FDA’s acting associate commissioner for regulatory affairs, in a statement. “Until Butterfly Bakery meets FDA regulations, it will no longer be able to process or distribute their products."
