Wheat Cake (Maruto "C" Cake), 6.3 ounces (180g), individually packaged in gold foil pouches and sold under the Maruto Brand. Sold at retail locations in display cases containing 8 bars per display case.

Ikko International Trading LLC recalled Wheat Cake (Maruto "C" Cake), 6.3 ounces (180g), individually packaged in gold foil pouches and sold under the Maruto Brand. Sold at retail in a Class II action, the FDA tier for products that may cause temporary or medically reversible health effects on Aug 5, 2014.

The FDA listed the reason as an undeclared allergen: "This voluntary recall has been initiated because Maruto 'C' Cakes (Wheat Cakes) omitted soy lecithin as an ingredient and an accompanying allergen warning." Allergen mislabeling is the leading cause of U.S. food recalls, because a missing declaration can trigger a reaction in someone who reads the label and believes the product is safe.

Distribution was limited; the FDA record lists "US: Illinois." Single-area recalls still warrant a kitchen check for anyone who shops within that footprint. The recalling firm is based in Elizabeth, NJ. The recall covers 10 cases (160 pieces) of product. The FDA has Terminated this recall (first reported Oct 15, 2014), its final lifecycle state, indicating the agency considers the corrective action resolved. The historical record remains useful for tracking a brand's recall pattern over time.
