Cheesecake Bite Products Recalled for Undeclared Soy Allergen Mislabeling

Chuckanut Bay Foods LLC is recalling cheesecake bite products with labels declaring sunflower lecithin when they actually contain soy lecithin. Soy is a major allergen not properly disclosed to consumers.

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: This is FDA Class II allergen mislabeling involving soy, a common allergen. The hazard poses risk to allergic consumers, though no illnesses have been reported. This meets the rubric criterion for 'allergen mislabeling on common allergens where injury has not yet been reported.'
