Alida's Wheat Saoka Pita Bread recalled for undeclared soy allergen

Alida's Wheat Saoka Pita Bread is recalled for undeclared soy lecithin found in the pan-grease canola oil. The product label does not disclose soy, posing a risk to soy-allergic consumers. Distributed in Washington state only.

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: Product contains undeclared soy lecithin (a common allergen) not listed on the label. Meets the rubric criterion for allergen mislabeling on common allergens (Score 3). No illnesses reported, but the presence of an actual undeclared allergen—not merely theoretical risk—warrants this classification.

Plain-English summary

Alida's Bakery LLC has recalled Alida's Wheat Saoka Pita Bread, sold in 5-piece packages of 16.25 oz each (UPC 8 60004 65931 0). The recall was issued due to the presence of undeclared soy lecithin in the product.

During manufacturing, the canola oil used to grease the pans was found to contain soy lecithin. While soy is not listed on the product label, soy is a common allergen and this poses a risk to consumers with soy allergies. The label states the product contains Wheat and Gluten, but omits soy.

The affected product was distributed in Washington state only, with an expiration date of August 20, 2022. The product is made from wheat flour, white flour, water, wheat gluten, yeast, sorbitan monostearate, ascorbic acid, salt, and canola oil.
