GOOD TASTE brand Plum, 10.5 OZ, PRODUCT OF CHINA, UPC 3 867320 507650 --- AMERICA MANDY STAR TRADING

Mandy Star Trading INC recalled GOOD TASTE brand Plum, 10.5 OZ, PRODUCT OF CHINA, UPC 3 867320 507650 --- AMERICA MANDY STAR TRADING in a Class I action — the FDA's most serious tier, reserved for products with a reasonable probability of causing serious health consequences or death on Sep 27, 2013.

The FDA listed the reason as an undeclared allergen: "The product contained undeclared sulfites (440 ppm), undeclared FD&C Yellow # 6, and unapproved color Ponceau 4R, based on sampling and analysis by New York State Department of Agriculture & Markets." 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 "New York City (NY)." Single-area recalls still warrant a kitchen check for anyone who shops within that footprint. The recalling firm is based in Brooklyn, NY. The recall covers 9 cases (50 x 10.5 oz. bags per case) of product. The FDA has Terminated this recall (first reported May 21, 2014), 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.
