Reason for recall

Perez Casas Enterprises, Inc. is recalling Candy El Pecas Mango Chile and Watermelon Flavor due to undeclared Yellow #5 and Red #40.

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.
