A multi-state footprint means the same lot can surface in households far from the producer. The recalling firm is based in Richmond Heights, MO. The recall covers 207 cheesecakes (total) of product. The FDA has Terminated this recall (first reported Jul 3, 2019), its final lifecycle state, indicating the agency considers the corrective action resolved.
