Reason for recall
Product contains undeclared certified colors (Yellow #6, Red #40, Yellow#6 Lake, and Blue #1).
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.
