Hannaford Alerts Customers to Problems with Cakes

A label printing error may mean two types of cakes contain "undeclared allergens."

Hannaford Supermarkets, which has a store in West Peabody, has issued an alert about a label printing error on its Red Velvet Cake Truffle and Triple Chocolate Cake Truffle, which was sold in the bakery department.

The cakes may have contained “undeclared allergens.” This means that people with allergies or “severe sensitivity” to egg, milk, peanuts, wheat, soy and tree nuts should not eat these cakes, according to an announcement by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.

There are no illnesses reported in connection to this problem, but the supermarket has removed it from the shelves.
