Gromex Camaron Molido recall

Recalled by Gromex Inc. · Passaic, NJ, United States

Class III — Low risk. Unlikely to cause harm, but violates FDA regulations.

Why it was recalled

Camaron Molido Ground Shrimp sampling analysis revealed the product contains undeclared FD&C Red #40 and it also contains unallowed dye: 16255 - Ponceau 4R (E124) - Acid Red 18

Undeclared allergen: Shellfish

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.

What was recalled

Gromex Camaron Molido (Ground Shrimp), Net Wt. 2 oz., packaged in a clear bag, Mexican Products, Importers & Distributors, UPC 690912620108

Quantity: 100 lbs.

Food: Seafood & fish

Where it was sold

New Jersey New York Pennsylvania

FDA's distribution note: NJ, NY and PA

Low risk, but check. Class III means the product is unlikely to make anyone ill but breaks an FDA rule, often a labeling one. If your package matches, the store will normally refund it. The risk from an undeclared allergen is to people allergic to shellfish; 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.
