The FDA listed the reason as an undeclared allergen: "The product contains undeclared FD&C Blue #1, FD&C Red #40, and FD&C Yellow #5.

The recalling firm is based in Chicopee, MA. The recall covers 2280 cases of product. The FDA has Terminated this recall (first reported Aug 5, 2015), its final lifecycle state, indicating the agency considers the corrective action resolved.
