What does an undeclared egg mean?

If there is a presence of a food allergen, in a food product you’re purchasing and the manufacturer of the product has failed to list the food allergen on the label, then it is undeclared.  For anyone with an allergy to eggs, it is imperative to keep up with recalls on products you are consuming. The FDA has a website where you can notify them when a company has failed to abide by the law.
