What Happened?
Sabores Fit Bakery, doing business as Sabores A Tu Mesa, issued a voluntary recall on June 20, 2025, after discovering that several of their mousse dessert flavors contained undeclared major allergens—a serious misstep in food safety compliance.
During a routine inspection, the issue came to light: ingredients like milk, eggs, soy, wheat, almonds, and hazelnuts were used but not disclosed on the label. While no adverse reactions have been reported yet, this kind of labeling failure could pose life-threatening risks to allergy-prone consumers.
Here’s what you need to know:
Brand | Product | Size | UPC (if applicable) | Best By Date | Issue |
Sabores A Tu Mesa | Choco Mousse | 8 oz | Not listed | June 26, July 02, 2025 | Undeclared milk, eggs, soy, wheat, nuts |
Sabores A Tu Mesa | Passion Fruit Mousse | 8 oz | Not listed | June 26, July 02, 2025 | Same as above |
Sabores A Tu Mesa | 4 Milk Mousse | 8 oz | Not listed | June 26, July 02, 2025 | Same as above |
Sabores A Tu Mesa | 3 Milk Mousse | 8 oz | Not listed | June 26, July 02, 2025 | Same as above |
Sabores A Tu Mesa | 3 Milk Strawberry Mousse | 8 oz | Not listed | June 26, July 02, 2025 | Same as above |
What Caused the Issue?
This recall wasn’t sparked by contamination or spoilage—but something far more preventable: missing allergen labels. During a routine FDA inspection, Sabores Fit Bakery discovered that their mousse desserts contained several major allergens that were not declared on the packaging. That’s a huge red flag when it comes to ingredient safety compliance.
Here’s what went wrong:
- The mousse desserts—flavors like Choco Mousse and 3 Milk Strawberry—contained ingredients such as milk, eggs, soy, wheat, and tree nuts (almonds and hazelnuts).
- However, none of those allergens were listed on the product label.
- That means anyone with a food allergy could’ve eaten one without knowing the risk.
Why Undeclared Allergens Are So Dangerous
These aren’t niche sensitivities—these are top 8 allergens, responsible for 90% of allergic reactions in the U.S. Even trace amounts can trigger life-threatening symptoms, especially for high-risk individuals.
Health Risks:
- Milk & Eggs: Can cause hives, asthma flare-ups, vomiting, or severe anaphylaxis.
- Soy & Wheat: May lead to skin rashes, diarrhea, or respiratory distress.
- Tree Nuts (Almonds, Hazelnuts): Among the most fatal food allergens due to rapid onset of anaphylaxis.
Who’s Most at Risk?
- Children (especially under age 5)
- People with diagnosed food allergies
- Those with asthma (reactions may be more severe)
- Elderly individuals or immunocompromised patients
Common Symptoms:
- Swelling of lips, face, or throat
- Skin reactions (hives, itching, rashes)
- Nausea, vomiting, or stomach cramps
- Shortness of breath, wheezing
- Drop in blood pressure or loss of consciousness (anaphylaxis)
10 Customer Questions You May Have
Q1: I already ate one of these mousse cups—what should I do?
A1: If you have no known food allergies, you’re likely okay. If you feel unwell, contact a doctor. If you have allergies, seek medical attention immediately—even if symptoms are mild at first.
Q2: How can I tell if I have the recalled product?
A2: Check the label. Look for “Sabores A Tu Mesa” brand mousse desserts with expiration dates of June 26 or July 02, 2025. When in doubt, don’t eat it.
Q3: Is this a one-time issue or has it happened before?
A3: This is Sabores Fit Bakery’s first recall, but labeling issues are a common problem across the food industry. See our recall tracker for more.
Q4: I have a nut allergy but don’t see “nuts” on the label—am I safe?
A4: Not in this case. The product contains undeclared almonds and hazelnuts. Avoid it and seek a refund.
Q5: Can allergens hide under other ingredient names?
A5: Yes. For example, soy can appear as soy lecithin or soybean oil. That’s why full disclosure is so important.
Q6: What if I gave this dessert to my child or elderly parent?
A6: Monitor them closely. If they have no food allergies, they’re probably fine. If symptoms appear, contact your healthcare provider immediately.
Q7: Why do some products miss allergen labeling?
A7: Human error, supplier miscommunication, or lack of allergen management systems. That’s why robust traceability systems and label audits matter.
Q8: What’s anaphylaxis and how fast can it happen?
A8: Anaphylaxis is a severe, potentially fatal allergic reaction that can occur within minutes. It requires immediate medical attention and usually an epinephrine injection.
Q9: How can I avoid buying mislabeled products in the future?
A9: Stick to trusted brands, read labels thoroughly, and stay updated with sites like FDA Recalls.

Behind the Brand
Sabores Fit Bakery, based in Kissimmee, FL, distributes locally in Kissimmee and Orlando through retail stores. While this appears to be their first recall, the incident mirrors other allergen-related recalls from June, such as:
- On June 20, 2025, International Foodsource, LLC recalled their SE Grocers-branded Dark Chocolate Nonpareils because what was meant to be a dairy-free delight may actually contain milk—and it’s nowhere on the label.
- On June 13, 2025, Meijer voluntarily recalled select packages of Frederik’s Dark Chocolate Almonds after discovering a nutty mix-up: some almond pouches actually contain dark chocolate-covered cashews.
- On June 12, 2025, Vita Warehouse Corp. recalled select Vitamin B12 gummy supplements under the Welby®, Berkley Jensen®, and VitaGlobe™ brands due to undeclared peanut allergen.
- On June 12, 2025, Turkana Food recalled 352 cases of Floria Dried Apricots due to undeclared sulfites, a known allergen.
- On May 30, 2025, Firehook issued a voluntary recall on a specific lot of its 8oz crackers due to undeclared sesame.
“Allergen labeling isn’t just a fine print detail—it’s a critical layer of protection. When ingredients like milk are left off the label, it doesn’t just endanger consumers with allergies—it undermines confidence across the whole food supply chain.” said Eran Mizrahi, CEO of Source86.
These back-to-back labeling issues across brands raise important questions about traceability and food safety systems in small to mid-sized operations.
