Plain-English summary

Surtidoras Bakery Inc is recalling two units of Oreo 3-Milk Cake (Oreo Tres Leches Cake) with a net weight of 2.80 lbs. (1.27kg). The cakes are packaged in rigid plastic domes, individually labeled, and sold in grab-and-go retail refrigerated display cases. The specific product affected has a sell-by date of 3/28/21.

The recall was initiated because the chocolate truffle cake topping contains undeclared hazelnut. Hazelnut is a major food allergen, and its presence on the product without proper labeling poses a risk to consumers with hazelnut allergies.

The affected cakes were distributed only in Washington state. Consumers who purchased these cakes should check their refrigerators for the specific product and sell-by date. If the product is found, consumers should not consume it and should contact the recalling firm for further instructions.
