Cakes & More Delight's Recalls Sugar-Free Vanilla Cakes for Missing Warning

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

What this means for you

Cosmetic or documentation issue. No expected health impact, but the manufacturer is correcting the affected products.

Our severity reasoning: The FDA classified this as a Class III recall, which by definition is unlikely to cause adverse health consequences. The hazard is a missing warning label for a specific metabolic condition, not a direct contamination or acute safety defect for the general population.

Plain-English summary

Cakes & More Delight's is voluntarily recalling sugar-free vanilla cakes in 4 oz, 12 oz, and 16 oz sliced packages. The recall is due to a labeling error where the products contain aspartame, an ingredient in the main "Sugar Free RichCreme Base," but do not display the required warning for individuals with phenylketonuria (PKU).

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

Consumers with phenylketonuria should not consume these products. Individuals without PKU can continue to consume the cakes as they are safe for the general population. The FDA has classified this as a Class III recall, indicating that while there is a labeling violation, it is unlikely to cause adverse health consequences for the general public.
