FDA Recall: Ukrop’s Decorated pound cakes for Undeclared soy

Ukrop’s • December 15, 2025

Ukrop’s Decorated Pound Cake Recall for Undeclared Soy | Best-By 12/15/25

Consumers with soy allergies should immediately check any Ukrop’s decorated pound cake purchased at Ukrop’s Market Hall or Kroger Mid-Atlantic. Four varieties may contain undeclared soy, creating a potentially life-threatening allergen risk. Do not eat the cake; return it for a full refund instead.

Why Did Ukrop’s Recall These Decorated Pound Cakes?

Ukrop’s Homestyle Foods, LLC (Richmond, VA) applied a soy-based cake-release spray to certain pound cakes but inadvertently left soy off the ingredient statements. Because the cakes are misbranded, anyone allergic to soy could experience symptoms ranging from hives and wheezing to anaphylaxis.
