Epic Baking recalled Cafe' Intermezzo Carrot Torte 5.5 lbs in a Class II action, the FDA tier for products that may cause temporary or medically reversible health effects on Jan 30, 2023.

The FDA listed the reason as an undeclared allergen: "Firm did not list sub-ingredients. Undeclared Yellow 5 and Red 40." 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.

The product reached multiple states, recorded by the FDA as "Product was shipped to the following states GA & TN." A multi-state footprint means the same lot can surface in households far from the producer. The recalling firm is based in Norcross, GA. The recall covers 167 tortes of product. The FDA has Terminated this recall (first reported Mar 22, 2023), 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.
