Reason for recall

Packaged cheesecakes are distributed with no labels indicating the ingredients or the major food allergens they contain.

Food allergen labelling is required by US law for the nine major allergens. A product recalled for an undeclared allergen is only a risk to people with that allergy; everyone else can consume it safely.
