There is a voluntary recall that's currently affecting a popular brand of hand-held-style pies, sold at convenience and grocery stores across the country - including Minnesota and Wisconsin.

Flower Foods, Inc. has issued a voluntary recall on varieties of their Tastykake and Mrs. Freshley's glazed pies. According to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, the issue has to do with an undeclared soy ingredient.  That soy ingredient could prove to have serious or life-threatening implications for people who have allergies or severe sensitivities

The products involved in the recall include the following:

  • Tastykake Glazed Apple Pie
  • Tastykake Glazed Caramel Apple Pie
  • Tastykake Glazed Cherry Pie
  • Tastykake Glazed Lemon Flavored Pie
  • Tastykake Variety Glazed Pie Shipper (a package that contains the Apple Pie, Cherry Pie, and Lemon Flavored varieties)
  • Mrs. Freshley's Apple Fruit Pie
  • Mrs. Freshley's Cherry Fruit Pie

The recalled products were distributed throughout the U.S. market from September 26, 2022 to October 6, 2022 to retailers and vending machines.  The packages have either an "Enjoy By" date of 10/28/2022 through 11/07/2022 and can also include Product Codes 307 2263 through 307 2274 - printed on the front of the packages.

There is additional information about the UPC Codes of the recalled pies.  You can find those details, along with complete information, on the U.S. Food and Drug Administrations website.  For reference, that UPC Code is printed on the back of the packaging.

No illnesses or medical issues have been reported in connection with the recalled fruit pies at this time.  The action was taken under an abundance of caution, after an internal survey determined that certain pies were made with the soy ingredient, which is not listed on the product label.

Customers who have the recalled items in their possession are urged not to eat them.  Instead, return them to the place of purchase for a complete refund.  Questions can be directed at the Flowers Consumer Relations Center:  1-866-245-8921.
