Cheesecake recalled from Target stores in Florida, California, Texas and other states

One lot of Target store brand cheesecake has been recalled by the manufacturer for an issue that can range from annoyance to fatal, depending on the consumer.

The FDA-posted recall notice from Dessert Holdings, which made Favorite Brand Gourmet New York Style Cheesecake for Target, says Dessert Holdings got a complaint that the cheesecake had pecans, but the label didn’t list pecans among the allergens.

That’s a minor problem unless you’re one of those folks with a pecan allergy, who “run the risk of serious or life-threatening allergic reactions if they consume these products.”

The cheesecake were sold as two pieces, weighing 6 ounces and in plastic clam shell containers. The recalled lot, No. 25028A1 000039133 with UPC code No. 0 85239 09690 1, went to distribution centers in Florida, Texas, California, Iowa and Ohio.

If you have this cheesecake and there’s no chance anyone with a pecan allergy will eat it, carry on as normal. Otherwise, return it to the store for a full refund or call Target Guest Relations, 800-444-0680.

Direct questions about this recall to Dessert Holdings by calling 720-766-9060, Monday through Friday, 10 a.m. to 7 p.m., Eastern time or emailing marketing@dessertholdings.com.
