Plain-English summary
Whole Foods Market, Inc. has initiated a recall of specific bakery products, including 6-inch and 9-inch Italian Rum cakes. These items were made in-house at Whole Foods Market locations in the Mid-Atlantic Region and sold between May 25 and July 13, 2018.
The recall was initiated because the products failed to declare soy flour (soy) as an ingredient. This labeling error poses a risk to consumers with soy allergies.
Consumers who purchased these products should check their pantries for the affected cakes. If found, they should not consume the products and should contact Whole Foods Market for further instructions or a refund.
