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: The recall involves allergen mislabeling (missing labels) on a common allergen-containing product, which fits the rubric criteria for a score of 3 (High) as it presents a risk of harm without reported illness.
Plain-English summary
Hank's Cheesecakes, LLC is voluntarily recalling 207 units of carrot cake packaged in cardboard boxes labeled "Hank's Cheesecake, St. Louis Missouri 63117." The product was distributed to food service establishments in Missouri and Illinois.

Consumers and food service operators who have purchased or received this product should stop using it and contact the recalling firm for instructions on disposal or return. The FDA has classified this recall as Class II, indicating a reasonable probability that the use of the product could cause temporary or medically reversible health adverse effects.
