Cake Recall: Cafe' Intermezzo Torte Missing Red 40 Ingredient Declaration
Epic Baking is recalling Cafe' Intermezzo Light and Dark Torte because the product failed to disclose Red 40 food coloring in its ingredient list. The recall affects 65 tortes distributed to Georgia and Tennessee.
What this means for you
Minor labeling or packaging issue, or a voluntary precautionary recall. Risk of harm is low but real — follow the manufacturer's instructions.
Our severity reasoning: This is an FDA Class III recall for a labeling defect rather than a safety or contamination issue. Minor labeling errors involving non-toxic additives typically receive a moderate risk classification.
Plain-English summary
Epic Baking is recalling Cafe' Intermezzo Light and Dark Torte, a chocolate cake with cream cheese frosting and pudding filling. The product was shipped to Georgia and Tennessee under lot codes LDT103122 to LDT013023.
The recall was issued because the manufacturer failed to declare Red 40 (a synthetic food colorant) as a sub-ingredient in the product's ingredient list. While the product label identifies major allergens (milk, eggs, wheat, and soy) and notes possible tree nuts and peanuts, the undeclared additive represents a labeling defect.
Consumers who have purchased this product should review the ingredient list. Those with sensitivity to synthetic food dyes or who prefer to avoid such additives may wish to return the product to the place of purchase.
