Recall Summary

USA Lanka INC recalled Motha Jelly Crystals - Black Currant Flavoured Jelly, Net Wt. 100g in a Class II action, the FDA tier for products that may cause temporary or medically reversible health effects on Mar 30, 2021.

The FDA listed the reason as an undeclared allergen: "Jelly contain undeclared FD&C yellow #5 and blue #1, and unapproved carmoisine (E122)/dye 14720/acid red 14" Allergen mislabeling is the leading cause of U.S. food recalls, because a missing declaration can trigger a reaction in someone who reads the label and believes the product is safe.

The product reached multiple states, recorded by the FDA as "NY, MA, MD, CT, CA, PA, MS, NC, NJ, TX." A multi-state footprint means the same lot can surface in households far from the producer. The recalling firm is based in Elmont, NY. The recall covers 268 units of product. The FDA has Terminated this recall (first reported Apr 28, 2021), its final lifecycle state, indicating the agency considers the corrective action resolved. The historical record remains useful for tracking a brand's recall pattern over time.
