Reason for recall
FDA inspection at the facility found that the firm was using Yellow 5 & 6 which were not declared on product labeling.
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.
