Flowers Foods is recalling Tastykake Glazed Cherry Pie due to undeclared soy lecithin in the product. The recalled product may pose a health risk to consumers with soy allergies.

The agency’s classification

FDA (Food): Class II

Class II is a situation in which use of or exposure to a violative product may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences, or where the probability of serious adverse health consequences is remote.

This is the agency’s own classification, taken from its notice. The severity score below is our assessment, not the agency’s. How recall classes work

What this means for you

Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 3/5 (High).

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: This is allergen mislabeling of soy, a major common allergen not declared on the label. Although FDA Class II, no hospitalization or injury reports are cited, meeting the Score 3 criterion for allergen mislabeling without reported illness.
