Reason for recall
Dried Plum Candy contains non-permitted cyclamates, undeclared benzoic acid and undeclared Yellow #5.
Food allergen labelling is required by US law for the nine major allergens. A product recalled for an undeclared allergen is only a risk to people with that allergy; everyone else can consume it safely.
