The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has issued a recall of Walmart’s nationwide sold cake due to an error in labeling that omitted peanuts as an ingredient.

The incorrectly labeled product, “Marketside Ultimate Peanut Butter Chocolate Cake,” was instead listed as “Marketside Chocolate Chip Explosion Cake,” which failed to provide information about the presence of peanuts or include an allergen warning on the packaging.

Approximately 960 units of this 7-ounce, clear plastic packaged product marked with #BS23212 are affected by the recall.

The retailer is conducting a thorough investigation in collaboration with the manufacturer, David’s Cookies. As a result, customers who bought the affected cakes can obtain a complete refund by returning them to the Walmart stores they purchased them from.
