Willamette Valley Cherry Pie Recalled for Mislabeling as Raspberry Rhubarb

Willamette Valley Pie Company is recalling Cherry Pies that are actually Raspberry Rhubarb Pies. The mislabeling creates a risk for consumers with almond allergies.

What this means for you

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves allergen mislabeling on a common allergen (tree nuts/almonds), which corresponds to a severity score of 3 (High) per the rubric.

Plain-English summary

Willamette Valley Pie Company, LLC. is recalling 48 units of Cherry Pie packaged in clamshells. The recall is due to misbranding; the actual product inside the packaging is Raspberry Rhubarb Pie, but it is labeled as Cherry Pie.

The mislabeling poses a safety risk because the Cherry Pie label lists almond extract as an ingredient, whereas the actual Raspberry Rhubarb Pie does not contain artificial almond extract. This discrepancy may cause individuals with tree nut allergies to consume a product they believe contains an allergen, or conversely, avoid a product they believe is safe. The affected pies were distributed in Oregon only.

Consumers who purchased these pies should check their lot code (634019 BD 1270) and expiration date (12/6/21). If the product matches this description, consumers should stop using it and contact the recalling firm for instructions on disposal or return.
