Food Recall Check
Class II · Moderate risk Terminated Initiated Aug 20, 2012 (14 years ago)

Productos El Gauchito Empanadillas Argentinas de Queso y Cebolla recall

Recalled by Productos El Gauchito · Bayamon, PR, United States

Class II — Moderate risk. May cause temporary or reversible harm; serious harm unlikely.

Why it was recalled

Undeclared soy, FD&C Yellow #6 and Red #40 contained in soft dough shells.

Undeclared allergen: Soy

For someone with a food allergy the label is the only protection. An undeclared allergen can trigger a severe reaction even in a trace amount, which is why most of these recalls are Class I. All undeclared allergens recalls.

Lot codes, dates and UPCs

A recall covers only these codes. Compare them with the lot number, best-by date or UPC printed on your package.

No code or lot numbers.

Where it was sold

Puerto Rico

FDA's distribution note: Puerto Rico only (hotels, gas stations, restaurants)

Check the codes, then return or discard. Class II means eating it may cause temporary or reversible health problems. If your package matches the recalled codes, do not eat it - return it to the store or throw it away. The risk from an undeclared allergen is to people allergic to soy; for anyone else the product is generally not a safety concern. FDA lists this recall as terminated: the company has finished removing the product, so it should no longer be on shelves - but it can still be in a freezer or pantry.
