David’s Cookies is recalling 960 units of “Marketside Chocolate Chip Explosion Cake” lot # BS23212 that has been sold in Walmart retail stores across the country after the company mislabeled the Ultimate Peanut Butter Chocolate Cake as “Marketside Chocolate Chip Explosion Cake” a name that does not depict peanut as a key ingredient and does not declare the peanut allergen warning on the label. Subsequent investigation indicates the problem was caused at the labeling & packaging stage.
An Allergen Preventive Control for labeling, which would include labeling monitoring and verification, if properly implemented, would have prevented this issue.
