Cakes & More Delight's Pistachio Cake Recalled for Missing Phenylketonuria Warning

Cakes & More Delight's is recalling sugar-free pistachio 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 is typically a low-risk labeling error. However, the missing warning for a specific metabolic condition (PKU) involving aspartame is a significant labeling omission, fitting the 'Moderate' criteria for minor labeling errors or low-risk contamination.

Plain-English summary

Cakes & More Delight's is recalling sugar-free pistachio cakes in 4 oz and 12 oz packages. The recall involves 500 boxes, with 12 units in each box, distributed only in Puerto Rico.

The recall is due to a lack of a phenylketonuria (PKU) warning. The main ingredient, 'Sugar Free RichCreme Base,' contains aspartame, which is a concern for individuals with PKU.

Consumers with PKU should not consume the product. The source text does not specify additional consumer actions or contact information.
