Cakes sold at US grocery store chain recalled over allergen risk

Botulism, listeria, and recalls: How recalls work
  • Ukrop’s Homestyle Foods has initiated a recall of four varieties of decorated pound cakes due to the presence of undeclared soy.
  • The soy, used in the cake pan greasing product, poses a potential health risk to individuals with soy allergies, with reactions ranging from mild to life-threatening anaphylaxis.
  • The affected pound cakes were sold at Kroger Mid-Atlantic stores across Virginia and West Virginia and Ukrop's Market Hall in Richmond, Virginia.
  • Customers are urged to return the recalled cakes to their place of purchase for a full refund, though no illnesses or allergic reactions have been reported.
