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 for common allergens (wheat, almond, soy), which corresponds to a High severity score under the rubric.

Plain-English summary

Olive Bakery is voluntarily recalling four packages of Mocha Cream bread in Oregon and Washington. The product consists of two bread pastries filled with coffee and topped with almonds. The recall is being issued because the product labels do not accurately declare all ingredients present.

Specifically, the label declares flour but fails to declare wheat. Although almonds are visible through the clear packaging, the label does not declare almond. Additionally, the product contains Non-Dairy Cream, which includes the sub-ingredient Soy Lecithin, but this is not declared on the label.

Consumers who purchased these products should check their labels and stop consuming them if they match the description. Individuals with allergies to wheat, almonds, or soy should exercise particular caution.
