Specialty Bakers, LLC — Class II: Vanilla Dessert Shells (Giant), 6 dessert shells/1 package, 1 dessert shell is approximate
Specialty Bakers, LLC has initiated a Class II recall for Vanilla Dessert Shells (sold under the Giant brand) due to an undeclared soy allergen. The recall involves frozen 6-pack plastic-wrapped trays packed 24 per case.
This recall affects Specialty Bakers, LLC and retail partners distributing Giant brand vanilla dessert shells, as well as food safety and regulatory professionals overseeing allergen control programs.
The classification suggests that consumption of the product may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences due to the undeclared allergen. For the manufacturer, this indicates a failure in the allergen control plan or labeling verification process, potentially requiring an update to Hazard Analysis and Risk-Based Preventive Controls (HARPC).
Regulatory and QA teams should conduct a label-to-formulation audit for all frozen dessert products to ensure soy-based emulsifiers or ingredients are correctly declared. Firms should review packaging line clearance procedures for plastic-wrapped trays to prevent mislabeling risks.
