Pecan Pie slices may be contained in Turtle Pie packaging. The Pecan Pie slices contain eggs that would not be declared on the Edwards Turtle Pie packaging. People who have allergies to eggs run the risk of serious or life-threatening allergic reaction if they consume these products.

The frozen product comes in a yellow box with a picture of a slice of turtle pie on it and is labeled Edwards Turtle Pie Single 2-pack pie slices.
