"***Brazo gitano (rolled cake)***bavarian cream cake filling***"

E. Franco & CO. INC recalled "***Brazo gitano (rolled cake)***bavarian cream cake filling***" in a Class II action, the FDA tier for products that may cause temporary or medically reversible health effects on Feb 6, 2014.

The FDA listed the reason as an undeclared allergen: "Undeclared allergens: wheat" 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 "Puerto Rico only." Single-area recalls still warrant a kitchen check for anyone who shops within that footprint. The recalling firm is based in Mayaguez, PR. The recall covers Approx 2,300/14 oz rolls for all varieties of product. The FDA has Terminated this recall (first reported Mar 5, 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.
