Bakery Cash & Carry Inc. is recalling 3,360 units of Butter Cream in Puerto Rico because the product contains soybean oil, a major allergen, that is not declared on the label.

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 (soybean oil), which corresponds to a severity score of 3 (High) per the rubric.

Plain-English summary

Bakery Cash & Carry Inc. is recalling 3,360 units of Butter Cream distributed in Puerto Rico. The recall is due to a labeling error where the product fails to declare the presence of soybean oil, a major food allergen.

The firm re-packs the bulk product for retail sale without using a standard label, relying instead on handwritten product names. Because the ingredient list is not properly displayed, the label does not disclose that the partially hydrogenated vegetable oil used in the product contains soybean oil as a sub-ingredient.

Consumers who purchased this product should check their labels for the absence of allergen information. Individuals with a soy allergy should avoid consuming the product. The recall is limited to Puerto Rico.
