Publix Recalls: Undeclared Allergens Pose Serious Risk
1 Jan
Summary
- Publix recalls rice and pigeon peas due to undeclared soy.
- Maple walnut coffee cakes recalled for missing walnut ingredients.
- Both recalls stem from critical food allergen mislabeling issues.

Publix is recalling two distinct products due to significant labeling errors that could pose serious health risks. The first recall involves Publix Rice & Pigeon Peas, sold exclusively in Florida stores, which were found to contain undeclared soy. This mislabeling is a critical concern for individuals with soy allergies.
Separately, a recall has been issued for Publix Maple Walnut Coffee Cakes. These cakes were distributed across eight states and were mislabeled as Raspberry Coffee Cake, failing to list walnuts as an ingredient. This omission presents a severe risk to consumers with walnut allergies.
These recalls underscore the U.S. Food and Drug Administration's ongoing concerns about food allergen mislabeling, which remains a primary driver of product recalls. Both ASK Foods and The James Skinner, the respective manufacturers, are urging customers to return the affected products for a full refund. As of January 1, 2026, both recalls remain active.
