Publix Super Markets, INC. recalled Publix 7 inch Dec. Whip Topping with filling cake in a Class I action — the FDA's most serious tier, reserved for products with a reasonable probability of causing serious health consequences or death on Nov 15, 2012.

The recall was triggered by possible Listeria contamination: "Maplehurst Deli-Bake South Inc. the cake supplier notified Publix Super market of a contamination with Listeria Monocytogenes on 11/15/2012." Listeria monocytogenes can grow at refrigerator temperatures and is especially dangerous for pregnant people, newborns, older adults, and those with weakened immune systems.

Distribution was limited; the FDA record lists "Florida." Single-area recalls still warrant a kitchen check for anyone who shops within that footprint. The recalling firm is based in Lakeland, FL. The recall covers N/A of product. The FDA has Terminated this recall (first reported Mar 20, 2013), 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.
