Reason for recall
Jelly contains undeclared FD&C yellow #5 and blue #1, and unapproved carmoisine (E122)/dye 14720/acid red 14
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.
