Reason for recall

This recall has been initiated because the laboratory analysis indicates that the product contains FD & C Red #3, and Yellow #5 which are not declared on the ingredient statement on the product label.

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.
