Hank's Double Chocolate Cheesecake Recalled for Missing Allergen Labels

Hank's Cheesecakes is recalling Double Chocolate Cheesecakes because the packaging lacks ingredient and major food allergen information.

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: The recall involves allergen mislabeling (specifically, the absence of required allergen information) on a common allergen-containing product, which fits the 'High' severity criteria for allergen mislabeling without reported illness.
