Sugar-Free Carrot Cake Recalled for Missing Phenylketonuria Warning

Cakes & More Delight's is recalling sugar-free carrot cakes because they contain aspartame but lack the required phenylketonuria warning.

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: The recall is classified as FDA Class III, which indicates a remote possibility of adverse health consequences. The hazard is a labeling error (missing PKU warning) rather than a direct contamination or physical defect, fitting the criteria for a moderate severity score.

Plain-English summary

Cakes & More Delight's is recalling sugar-free carrot cakes in 4 oz and 12 oz packages. The recall is due to the absence of a phenylketonuria (PKU) warning on products that contain aspartame.

The recall involves 500 boxes, with 12 units in each box. The products were distributed only in Puerto Rico. No specific lot codes are listed for this recall.

Consumers with phenylketonuria should not consume these products. Individuals without PKU can generally consume aspartame, but should check with their healthcare provider if they have specific dietary restrictions. Consumers should return the product to the place of purchase for a refund or contact the recalling firm for more information.
