Plain-language summary

by FoodRecallsDB.info

What happened

New Seasons Market is recalling their seasonal Honey Cake because the packaging lists buttermilk and sour cream as ingredients but does not clearly declare that the product contains milk. This is a labeling issue that could be dangerous for people with milk allergies.

Who is at risk

Anyone with a milk allergy or severe lactose intolerance should be concerned, as they may have purchased this product without realizing it contained milk.

What to do

If you purchased a Honey Cake (PLU code 203190) from New Seasons Market in Oregon or Washington, do not eat it if you have a milk allergy. Return the product to the store for a refund or discard it. Contact New Seasons Market or the FDA if you have any questions.

Product

Honey Cake, internal PLU code 203190, is a seasonal bakery product. A loaf shaped cake is wrapped with cellophane, stored ambient, and sold from displayed tables. The orange sticker on top of the package is read in parts: "***SEASONAL HONEY CAKE ***Made in small batches, with Bee Local Willamette Valley Honey, Stumptown Coffee, Local Cage-Free Eggs, Local Buttermilk & Sour Cream***". The scale white label at the bottom of the package is read in parts: "***Flour, eggs, honey, sugar, canola oil, coffee, raisins, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, baking powder, ginger*** Contains: eggs, wheat***".

Reason for recall

Honey Cake's sticker on the top of a package states "buttermilk and sour cream" but milk is not declared. The bottom scale label has the Contains statement but "MILK" is not declared.
