Publix Cake Recall: Chain Pulls 45 Varieties In Florida Over Listeria Risk

Grocery Chain Recalls 45 Cake Varieties Due To Listeria Risk

Publix supermarkets in several Florida counties have pulled 45 varieties of cake from shelves because they may be contaminated with Listeria bacteria.

Customers who purchased the cakes, which were distributed to stores between November 11 and 15, are instructed not to eat them and can return them to the store for a full refund.

The FDA offers up a dizzying list of Florida counties affected by the recall: Brevard, Charlotte, Citrus, Collier, Flagler, Hernando, Highlands, Hillsborough, Lake, Lee, Manatee, Marion, Orange, Osceola, Pasco, Pinellas, Polk, Sarasota, Seminole, Sumter and Volusia.

Publix said in a company press release that it was notified of the problem by its supplier, Maplehurst. When reached for comment, Publix spokesperson Maria Brous said the voluntary recall is out an "abundance of precaution" and that the company's actions demonstrate its dedication to maintaining the public's trust. "Now on our shelves, we have a product that is safe for consumption," she added.

No injuries have yet been reported. Read on for the full list of recalled cakes. Each cake is accompanied by its ID number:
