Dessert Holdings Warns of Allergens in Favorite Day™ Cheesecakes Sold at Target Stores

Allergy Alert for Favorite Day™ Cheesecake

Dessert Holdings LLC recently issued a recall for its Favorite Day™ Gourmet New York Style Cheesecake, following concerns over undeclared allergens. The cheesecake, packaged as a 6oz/2ct product, carries the lot code 25028A1 000039133 and UPC 0 85239 09690 1. The decision to recall was prompted by a customer complaint received on March 14, 2025, which indicated that the product contained pecans that were not mentioned on the label.

Pecans are classified as tree nuts, and for individuals with allergies or severe sensitivities, exposure can lead to serious or potentially life-threatening reactions. Dessert Holdings stress the importance of consumers being aware of such allergens, particularly when purchasing pre-packaged goods. To ensure safety, all consumers who purchased the affected cheesecake are advised not to consume it. Instead, they should contact Target Guest Relations at (800) 444-0680 for a full refund or reach out to Dessert Holdings by calling (720) 766-9060, Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. MT or emailing [email protected]

The cheesecake was distributed between February 14, 2025, and March 7, 2025, to several Target Distribution Centers in California, Florida, Iowa, Ohio, and Texas. It is available in clear plastic clam shells at Target stores, where customers were encouraged to double-check their purchases against the lot code and UPC to identify any potentially hazardous products. The lot code is clearly printed on the side of the package’s lid, aiding in consumer identification.

So far, no illnesses or adverse reactions related to this issue have been reported, as emphasized by the company. This recall is part of an ongoing commitment by Dessert Holdings to ensure the safety and well-being of its customers. They are working diligently to rectify the labeling error and avoid similar incidents in the future.

For those affected, it is crucial to stay informed about product recalls involving allergens, especially for individuals with food sensitivities. Purchasing items from reliable brands and retailers, along with careful label reading, can mitigate risks. Consumers are encouraged to look out for updated information regarding food safety and to remain vigilant with their health and dietary needs.

Dessert Holdings LLC recognizes that maintaining customer trust is paramount, and they are ensuring that any further issues are addressed promptly. This incident serves as a reminder of the importance of transparency in food labeling and consumer education on food allergies.
