4 Pie Products Have Been Recalled In 2 U.S. States

The approach of Thanksgiving means pies are a hot topic this week—even more in two states, where the FDA is flagging a food safety alert for some customers.

On October 25, 2024, a recall was issued on pies and pie crusts according to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA) Enforcement Report, just in time for the holiday, highlighting the importance of food safety as you prepare your Thanksgiving meal. Today, an update to the announcement was published.

According to the FDA’s notice, which was originally posted on October 26, four pie products distributed by Grand Central Bakery (GCB) of Portland, OR and Seattle, WA, are under recall for containing undeclared eggs. The recall affects the following frozen pie products for take-and-bake at home:

• U-Bake Pie Crust
• U-Bake Apple Pie
• U-Bake Marionberry Pie
• U-Bake Chicken Pot Pie

According to the FDA’s notice, no illnesses have been reported in relation to the recall, and no official risk level has been assigned to the incident. However, they note that “people who have an allergy or severe sensitivity to eggs run the risk of serious or life-threatening allergic reaction if they consume this product,” the FDA says.

Though the pies and pie crusts were sold between August 1 and October 20, the products bear expiration dates between February 1, 2025 and April 20, 2025, and are likely still being stored in consumers’ freezers. The items were distributed at all Grand Central Bakery Café locations in Seattle, WA and Portland, OR, which are located at the following addresses:
