Why it happened, in plain English
The product’s purpose is to replace egg. The filed reason is undeclared egg. The record does not explain how egg got into it, and we will not guess; the possibilities in a powdered product are shared equipment, a shared facility, or a supplied ingredient. Whatever the route, the label made a free-from promise the process did not keep.
Class I is the right call: the buyer of a vegan egg replacer includes people with egg allergy who chose this product specifically to avoid the allergen.
Who else should care
Any brand making a free-from claim: vegan, gluten-free, nut-free, dairy-free. A free-from claim does not change your allergen-control obligations, it raises the cost of the same failure, because your customer selected you to avoid exactly that allergen.
Check: your allergen risk assessment for the facility that makes the product, not only for the formula. Ask the co-manufacturer what else runs on the line.
