Yellow Corn Tortillas in recall
Recalled by Tortilleria Provincia · Bowling Green, KY, United States
Class II — Moderate risk. May cause temporary or reversible harm; serious harm unlikely.
Why it was recalled
During an FDA inspection at the firm, it was discovered that the firm uses, FD&C Yellow #5, in the manufacture of their tortillas. However, FD&C Yellow #5 is not listed in the ingredient statement.
A label that does not match the product can hide an ingredient someone must avoid, or show a wrong use-by date. All labeling errors recalls.
