EMPANADAS DE PINA (MEXICAN SWEET BREAD) IMPORTED BY MAX PRODUCTS LEAMINTON 519-325-1176 MANUFACTURED BY MEXICANTOWN WHOLESALE DETROIT MI 48210 3.4oz

Mexicantown Wholesale recalled EMPANADAS DE PINA (MEXICAN SWEET BREAD) IMPORTED BY MAX PRODUCTS LEAMINTON 519-325-1176 MANUFACTURED BY MEXICANTOWN WHOLESALE DETROIT MI 482 in a Class II action, the FDA tier for products that may cause temporary or medically reversible health effects on May 21, 2012.

The FDA listed the reason as an undeclared allergen: "The firm recalled 26 products for undeclared allergens. This product was recalled due to undeclared yellow #6 and yellow #5." 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.

Distribution was limited; the FDA record lists "CANADA ONLY." Single-area recalls still warrant a kitchen check for anyone who shops within that footprint. The recalling firm is based in Detroit, MI. The recall covers 100 products (Canada distribution only) of product. The FDA has Terminated this recall (first reported Jul 11, 2012), 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.
