# Major Recall Alert: Publix Raspberry Coffee Cake Recalled Due to Undeclared Walnuts
On December 10, 2025, The James Skinner LLC issued a voluntary recall of a single lot of Publix Maple Walnut Coffee Cake, mispackaged and mislabeled as Publix Raspberry Coffee Cake. The labeling issue resulted in walnuts—an allergenic ingredient—not being declared on the ingredient list. This poses a potentially life-threatening risk to individuals allergic to walnuts.
Here’s what consumers need to know and how to stay safe.

## Why This Recall is Important
Allergen labeling is critical for consumer safety, especially for individuals with allergies to common ingredients like nuts. The recalled product features a Raspberry Coffee Cake label, which includes a disclaimer that it was "processed on equipment that also processes almonds, pecans, and walnuts" but fails to declare walnuts as an ingredient.
### Key risks include:
- **Serious Allergic Reactions**: Even trace amounts of walnuts can trigger severe or life-threatening reactions in individuals with walnut allergies.
- **Mislabeled Packaging**: The product's visible walnuts and brown maple topping directly contradict the Raspberry Coffee Cake’s intended appearance, which has no walnuts and a red topping.
The issue was traced back to an isolated incident during one day of production and was discovered by an attentive retail store employee at Publix. While no injuries or illnesses have been reported, immediate action has been taken to ensure consumer safety.
