Possible peanut residue in flour spurs recall of GFS cheesecakes

The Father’s Table is recalling 2,100 cases of cheesecakes sold by Gordon Food Service through retail and food service outlets under the GFS label because Grain Craft flour used in the products may contain undeclared peanut residue.

recalled GFS cheesecakesThere are 11 different cheesecake products in six different flavors included in recall by The Father’s Table.

“While those who have an allergy or severe sensitivity to peanuts run the risk of serious or life-threatening allergic reaction if they consume these products, the FDA has advised that ‘the amount of peanut exposure from use of the flours and affected products is low and not expected to cause adverse health effects in the vast majority of peanut allergic consumers,’ ” according to the company’s recall notice on the Food and Drug Administration website.

“The FDA has also stated that individuals who do not have peanut allergies do not need to avoid these products. … The Father’s Table has received no reports of illnesses to date, from any of its products.”
