Reason for recall
La Fe Green Hot Sauce contained undeclared FD & C Blue #1 and undeclared FD & C 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.
