Frozen Pastry Products Recalled Due to Temperature Abuse During Distribution
United Natural Foods Inc. is recalling frozen pastry products (Gardner and Cakerie brands) distributed in Alabama and Mississippi due to temperature abuse during delivery to retail stores.
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 2/5 (Moderate).
Minor labeling or packaging issue, or a voluntary precautionary recall. Risk of harm is low but real — follow the manufacturer's instructions.
Our severity reasoning: This is an FDA Class II precautionary recall with no reported illnesses or injuries. The hazard—temperature abuse of frozen products during transport—is theoretical, with no confirmed pathogenic contamination stated in the source.
