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.

Plain-English summary

Albertsons Inc is recalling 191,885 slices of carrot cake sold in California retail stores. The product is sold under Albertsons Companies retail banners, including Vons, Pavilions, Lucky, and Albertsons. The cake is assembled, iced, sliced, and packaged at the store level, individually wrapped in clear plastic clamshells, and sold in the bakery department.

The recall was initiated after a complaint revealed that the ingredient list on the packaging did not include walnuts in the ingredient or allergen statement. Although walnuts are visible through the clear packaging, the failure to list them on the label poses a risk to consumers with nut allergies.

Consumers who purchased these carrot cake slices should check their packaging for the UPC code 0222132-000000. The recall covers all sell-through codes. Individuals with a nut allergy should avoid consuming the product. Consumers can contact Albertsons for more information or a refund.
