Chuckanut Bay Cheesecake Bites Recalled for Undeclared Soy Allergen

Chuckanut Bay Foods LLC is recalling New York Cheesecake Bites because the label declares sunflower lecithin when the product actually contains undeclared soy lecithin, posing a risk to consumers with soy allergies.

The agency’s classification

FDA (Food): Class II

Class II is a situation in which use of or exposure to a violative product may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences, or where the probability of serious adverse health consequences is remote.

This is the agency’s own classification, taken from its notice. The severity score below is our assessment, not the agency’s. How recall classes work

What this means for you

Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 3/5 (High).

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: This is allergen mislabeling involving soy, a major food allergen, classified by FDA as Class II. Per the rubric, allergen mislabeling on common allergens scores as High (3), and the absence of reported illnesses keeps it below Severe.
