Reason for recall
The Broaster Company, LLC is recalling three lots of Broaster Fish Coating 96627 because they contain an undeclared color additive, Yellow Dye No. 6.
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.
