Reason for recall

The New York Department of Agriculture and Markets notified Eastland Food Corp. that they analyzed a sample of the shrimp powder and determined that the product contained FD&C Yellow #6, but the label failed to declare its presence. Yellow #6 can cause an allergic reaction for a small population of individuals.
