Cheesecake gets recalled from Target in Florida, California, Texas and other states
The FDA-posted recall notice from Dessert Holdings, which made Favorite Brand Gourmet New York Style Cheesecake for Target, says Dessert Holdings got a complaint that the cheesecake had pecans, but the label didn't list pecans among the allergens.
That's a minor problem unless you're one of those folks with a pecan allergy, who 'run the risk of serious or life-threatening allergic reactions if they consume these products.'
The cheesecake were sold as two pieces, weighing 6 ounces and in plastic clam shell containers. The recalled lot, No. 25028A1 000039133 with UPC code No. 0 85239 09690 1, went to distribution centers in Florida, Texas, California, Iowa and Ohio.
If you have this cheesecake and there's no chance anyone with a pecan allergy will eat it, carry on as normal. Otherwise, return it to the store for a full refund or call Target Guest Relations, 800-444-0680.
Direct questions about this recall to Dessert Holdings by calling 720-766-9060, Monday through Friday, 10 a.m. to 7 p.m., Eastern time or emailing marketing@dessertholdings.com.

Can Target Regain Its Mojo?
Yesterday Target took the long overdue step--in my humble opinion--of making a CEO change, announcing that current head honcho Brian Cornell will retire next February and chief operating officer Michael Fiddelke will replace him. They also helped me notch an early win for one of my 2025 predictions. But I digress. In true Shania Twain fashion, Wall Street's reaction to the news was 'that don't impress me much,' as disappointment over the company's failure to name an outsider to the top spot sent shares down more than 6%. It also didn't help that the company reported yet another weak quarter that confirmed it continues to lose relative market share. Reversal of Fortune In late 2021, 8 years into his tenure as CEO, Cornell received the National Retail Federation's 'Visionary Award," recognizing that Target's results had been quite impressive. Revenues grew from roughly $60 billion to over $100 billion. Outsized growth was also coming from digital sales and private brands. Major investments were being made to leverage Target's stores for local market fulfillment, something we were excited to showcase on the Remarkable Retail podcast. Since then just about everything has taken a turn for the worse, with revenues going nowhere and profits declining. After peaking in July of 2021, Target's stock is down more than 60 percent during a period when most of the competition racked up substantial gains. Most notably, perhaps, is the dramatic differential in revenue growth rates compared to Walmart. During the past three years Target had flat to negative same-store sales while Walmart has averaged closer to 6% increases. Moreover, Walmart's e-commerce sector has been on fire while Target's growth typically falls short of industry averages. Own Goals To be sure, the macro-environment is not as favorable to Target as many others. It's merchandise mix is more discretionary than essential. And during a time when consumers have become more 'choice-ful' (as retailers like to say) its position as a trade-up from pure value players isn't ideal. But most of Target's problems are self-inflicted. A focus on growing online fulfillment from stores took much needed resources away from both front of the house customer service and upgrading visual merchandising. Product out-of-stocks remain all too common occurrences. What once seemed like a promising, traffic driving, partnership with Ulta is now being dissolved. Rather than leaning into its distinctiveness and 'Tarzhay' positioning and cache, the company often drifts into a race to the bottom, trying to out-Walmart Walmart with price matching and new extreme value offerings. Gentle reminder from Seth Godin: 'The problem with the race to the bottom is you might win. Or worse, finish second." What's received the most attention as an 'own goal' is the company's diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) related debacles. In 2023 Target angered (and prompted boycotting on the part of ) conservative activists and homophobes by showcasing 'Pride' merchandise. Then, after a period of adopting a comparatively lower profile on social issues, the company got hit earlier this year by a backlash and boycott from the other end of the spectrum, as it significantly scaled back on its DEI strategy and initiatives. It's clearly wrong to blame Target's recent woes primarily on their caving to activist pressures--and more generally failing to demonstrate courageous leadership--but traffic declines do appear to have accelerated since the boycotts began. Meet the New Boss, Same as the Old Boss? The elevation of Michael Fiddelke to the top job is generating lots of criticism--as is the Board's decision to keep outgoing CEO Brian Cornell around as 'executive chairman." And for good reason. Clearly Fiddelke has the operating chops and is well steeped in the business and culture, having held a wide variety of key leadership roles since joining the company as an intern two decades ago. But it does seem more than a bit curious that they guy who was overseeing many of the areas where Target continues to experience executional snafus got promoted. Keeping Cornell around is also not a sign that disruptive change is on the way. But it is likely a sign of a board of directors that isn't especially willing to really shake things up. Aside from that, the history of putting financially oriented executives in charge of a turnaround that requires being more customer-centric and taking bolder strategic action isn't exactly chock-a-block with success stories. Aim Higher, Move Faster, Act More Boldly What is clear is that Target has really lost its way, and is facing both well resourced competition with incredible momentum and an increasingly challenging economic environment. In this situation, better execution and fixing the leaky bucket of customer defection is absolutely necessary, but far from sufficient. Target needs big change--a fairly radical rethink--not what I refer to in Leaders Leap as 'infinite incrementalism.' Both customers and investors need to expect much, much more from Target. Whether an insider can catalyze the bold action necessary to avoid the timid transformation trap that so many legacy retailers fall into obviously remains to be seen. So far the three priorities Fiddelke has laid out--reestablish merchandising authority, elevate the customer experience, and use technology to improve speed and efficiency--are eminently sensible. But they also sound a lot like what other retailers have been saying for years. They're great rallying cries, but the devil will be in the details and whether they can go beyond mere table stakes to become powerful differentiators that will improve margins and win back customers who have migrated elsewhere is no small task.

Why Target can't keep up with Walmart's growth
Walmart (WMT) reported its first earnings miss since 2022, putting pressure on the stock. Target (TGT) stock saw sharper declines despite beating earnings expectations after the company announced a company insider to succeed its current CEO. NewEdge Wealth chief investment officer Cameron Dawson joins the Opening Bid team to take a closer look at the two retail giants and examine why Target lags Walmart as macro headwinds loom. To watch more expert insights and analysis on the latest market action, check out more Opening Bid. Ali, I knew this was the case, but, uh, it is striking to pull up a five-year chart, uh, on Yahoo Finance, uh, comparing Walmart stock to Target stock. I mean, it's night and day. Now, we all go to these stores. Um, why do you think Target is just lagging Walmart so badly? I mean, sales, online sales, margins, I this has been a, a story that has been unfolding for two years, and I just can't see how it stops. I can't fi- I can't figure out when Target has an amazing quarter and Walmart sucks a little wind. Well, I think consumers just view Walmart as the better bang for your buck. Now, Target also structurally has its own issues, right? I mean, we saw, uh, they were grappling with boycotts. They had declining sales. This public pushback over its diversity policies. So, company specific issues for Target on top of all the tariff uncertainties and a lot of the unknowns that the consumer is dealing with. But Walmart, again, viewed as just this company where you can get cheaper products. Now, Walmart did see across all of its income cohorts, uh, a rise there, not just the higher income consumer, but also lower and middle income consumer. However, you are still seeing that the higher income consumer is outperforming. You could look at Home Depot earnings for that as well. And when you think about the, the grand picture here, when you look at interest rates elevated, mortgage rates elevated, a lot of consumers are pushing off many of those discretionary purchases, those big budget items, the big projects because of the environment right now. So, they're still spending, but there is some cautiousness around that. So, when it comes to sort of the, the categories that a lot of these companies have, that is really where it all boils down to. So Walmart, I think, is just perceived as a company where you can get more bang for your buck compared to Target and really has been able to weather a lot of these challenges better than their competitors here. Now, Walmart has absorbed a lot of costs. They still say that over the coming quarters, you're going to see that incrementally higher, uh, ticket item as tariffs make their way through the system. We are projected to have an effective tariff rate at around 18%. Currently, we're at about half of that. So that tells us that more pain is to come, to Cameron's point, when it comes to these higher prices and what the consumer will ultimately have to bear. Now you make a good point there, Ali. I- I get my oil change at Walmart. I can't get my oil changed at a Target. Why? Because they have no oil centers. I- I've even found some pretty good steak, uh, at Walmart recently. I mean, it's, uh, it's good stuff and it's pretty cheap. Cameron, let me get back to you on the economy, um, because Walmart, I think, you know, if we were having this discussion 10 years ago, Walmart doing well would be a sign that the economy is about to go in a hell in a hand basket. What's your read on how these two companies did this? The performance is so striking. What's the economic read through there as we look into the back half of the year? Yes, it is interesting that Walmart for the past few years has talking about how they've had more trade down from higher income consumers looking for value as even higher income consumers are getting pinched. But we do know that Target does lean more discretionary in its items. So less food, a lot more housing goods, for example. And Walmart actually called that out this morning and saying that it was discretionary areas that were weaker. So this does continue to be a consumer that is hunkering down. And we've been talking a lot about this idea of the K-shaped economy, the idea that the high-income consumer has been really resilient, whereas low-income consumers have been struggling for the past few years. And the difference is is that the top 10% of income earners make up 50% of the consumption in the US. So it really is watching those high-income earners and seeing the health of those high-income earners for the direction of overall consumption in the US. One thing to note there is that you're starting to see a pickup in things like credit card and auto loan delinquencies in higher income earners, which just means that at the end of the day, we all still do breathe the same economic air. And the question is, can those high-income earners could still continue to maintain a robust demand environment, or will we see that downshift as well?
