Class I U.S. Food and Drug Administration

Doan's Dessert And Coffee White Chocolate Coconut Bundt Cake - Net Weight 3 lbs 12 oz recall: Undeclared allergen ingredient (Wheat) in Ready-to-eat frozen cakes

Recall published 12 months ago

Undeclared allergen ingredient (Wheat) in Ready-to-eat frozen cakes.

The hazard: Undeclared wheat or gluten

The product contains wheat or gluten that the packaging never declared. If nobody in your home avoids wheat or gluten, there is no health reason to throw it away — though the refund still stands.

What the notice says: Undeclared allergen ingredient (Wheat) in Ready-to-eat frozen cakes.

Why it matters: The label does not declare wheat or gluten, so anyone who reads labels to avoid it has no way of knowing it is in there. For people without that allergy the product is safe to eat.

Symptoms and when to call a doctor

An undeclared allergen is a danger only to people allergic or intolerant to that ingredient. For everyone else the food is safe. Reactions range from an itchy mouth, hives, stomach cramps or vomiting through to anaphylaxis — swelling of the lips, tongue or throat, a tight chest, wheezing, a sudden drop in blood pressure or collapse. If anaphylaxis is suspected, use an epinephrine auto-injector straight away and call 911, even if the symptoms seem to settle, because a second wave can follow hours later.

What to do about Wheat

Doan's Dessert And Coffee — The product contains wheat or gluten that the packaging never declared. If nobody in your home avoids wheat or gluten, there is no health reason to throw it away — though the refund still stands.

  1. If anyone in your household avoids wheat or gluten, stop serving the product immediately and check whether any was used in food already prepared.
  2. Tell anyone else who eats from your kitchen, including childminders, schools and anyone catering an event you contributed to.
  3. Keep the pack if you want a refund, or photograph the label and the lot code and then bin it. If nobody in the house avoids wheat or gluten, you may simply eat it — the recall is about disclosure, not spoilage.
  4. Make sure the household epinephrine auto-injector is where it should be and in date, if someone here carries one.

Getting a refund without the pack

The commonest reason people skip the refund is that they have already thrown the item away. That rarely matters.

  • A photo of the label and lot code is accepted by most grocers, and so is a card statement line showing the purchase.
  • Store credit is often offered first. You can ask for the original payment method instead, and it is normally granted.
  • No photo either? Ask anyway. Grocery chains settle recall refunds at the service desk because disputing them costs more than paying them.
  • For a multi-pack or a case, ask for the full purchase price rather than a per-unit figure — the recall covers what you paid.
