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 and walnut), which corresponds to a High severity score under the rubric.

Plain-English summary

Olive Bakery is voluntarily recalling three packages of red bean and walnut bread pastries. The product consists of two bread pastries filled with red bean paste, coated with egg, and topped with walnuts, packaged in a clear plastic bag. The recall covers products sold between August 6, 2019, and August 12, 2019.

The recall was initiated because the product labels failed to declare specific allergens. For products sold on August 6 and August 11, 2019, the label declared flour but did not declare wheat, and walnuts were visible through the packaging but not declared on the label. For products sold on August 12, 2019, the label declared flour but did not declare wheat.

The affected products were distributed in Oregon and Washington. Consumers who purchased these products should check their labels and discontinue use if the product matches the description. No specific lot numbers or expiration dates are provided in the recall notice.
