Plain-English summary

Wegmans Large Ultimate Plain Cheesecake, net weight 50 oz, is being recalled because it contains undeclared pecans.

The affected product is item 37889 with sell-by dates of 24 September through 1 October, purchased between 19 and 26 September, carrying UPC 0-77890-37889-2. The enforcement record lists 521 units in total across all products in this action. The product was distributed in Virginia, Maryland, North Carolina and the District of Columbia. The FDA has classified the recall as Class I.

Pecans are a tree nut and a major allergen that must be declared. A cheesecake sold as plain gives no visible sign that nuts are present, so people with a tree nut allergy have no way to identify the risk.

Anyone holding a cheesecake with a listed sell-by date should not eat it and should follow the retailer's instructions.
