Country Oven Yellow Cake Recalled Due to Possible Metal Fragments
The Kroger Co is recalling Country Oven Yellow Cake in multiple sizes due to possible metal fragments in the starch used during manufacturing.
What this means for you
Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.
Our severity reasoning: This is an FDA Class II recall. Although no injuries or illnesses are reported in the source text, the hazard—metal fragments in food—represents a direct risk of harm (choking, internal injury, or dental damage). The source text does not state that illnesses have occurred, so per the rubric a score of 3 (High) applies for a risk-of-harm product where injury has not yet been reported.
