Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a common allergen (peanut) contamination in a food product, which aligns with the rubric criterion for 'Allergen mislabeling on common allergens' or 'risk-of-harm products where injury has not yet been reported.' No illnesses or injuries are reported in the source text.
Plain-English summary
Gardner Pie Company is recalling 1,109 units of 29-ounce/9-inch cheesecakes. The recall was initiated after the company's supplier of graham cracker crumbs notified them that the flour used to manufacture the crumbs was potentially contaminated with peanut residue. These crumbs are used to make the bottom crust of the affected cheesecakes.
The affected products were distributed only within the state of Ohio. A total of 600 individual cheesecakes were sold to one distributor, and 509 were sold through the firm's retail outlet. The products are packed in cardboard cartons with aluminum pie pans and plastic dome lids. The brand name on the master case is Gardner Pie Company Akron, OH.
Consumers should check their pantries for these specific products. The recall notice identifies two specific codes printed on the master carton sold through the distributor: Code 16127 with a "use by" date of 05/09/17, and Code 16158 with a "use by" date of 06/07/16. Individuals with peanut allergies should avoid consuming these products.
