Banana Chocolate Chip Torte Recalled for Undeclared Soy and Food Additives

Plain-English summary

Epic Baking has recalled 77 units of Cafe' Intermezzo Banana Chocolate Chip Torte (product code BCC111122, net weight 6 lbs / 2.72 kg). The affected product was distributed to Georgia and Tennessee.

The recall was initiated because the product labeling failed to disclose all ingredients. Specifically, the firm did not list soy flour, soy lecithin, and soybean oil. Additionally, the color additives Yellow 5 (Y5) and Allura Red (R40) were not declared on the label. The firm also failed to list the ingredients of yellow cake, which is a sub-ingredient in the product.

The product packaging states it "contains milk, eggs, and wheat" and "may contain peanuts, tree nuts, and soy." However, the product actually contains soy in three forms (flour, lecithin, and oil) that were not properly listed in the ingredients, creating a serious risk for consumers with soy allergies.

Consumers who have purchased this product with code BCC111122 should not consume it if they have a soy allergy.
