Wegmans tiramisu products contain undeclared wheat

Wegmans bakery tiramisu products contain undeclared wheat not listed on the label. The products are marked as made with no gluten-containing ingredients but do not declare wheat as an allergen.

What this means for you

Illness, injury, or structural failure has been reported. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.

Our severity reasoning: This is an FDA Class I recall for allergen mislabeling on a common allergen (wheat). Although no illnesses or injuries have been reported, undeclared wheat in a product marketed as gluten-free poses significant risk to consumers with wheat allergies and celiac disease. FDA Class I classification requires a minimum severity score of 4.
