Plain-English summary
Wegmans Ultimate Plain Cheesecake Large, net weight 3.13 lb, shrink wrapped in a collar and packed eight cakes per wholesale case, is being recalled for undeclared pecan.
The recall covers 2,216 cakes from lot 25202, distributed in Pennsylvania and Virginia. The FDA has classified the recall as Class I.
Pecans are a tree nut and a major allergen that must be declared on the label. People with an allergy or sensitivity to tree nuts risk a serious reaction if they eat the product, and a cheesecake sold as plain gives no visible sign that nuts are present.
Anyone holding a cake from the affected lot should not eat it and should follow the retailer's instructions.
