FDA (Food) recall action 62697
The FDA (Food) publishes a recall like this one as 2 separate product records. They share a firm, a date and a cause; this page is all of them in one place, so the scale of the action is visible rather than spread across 2 pages.
The recall was initiated because Authentic Gourmet was alerted by FDA sample analysis that the Strawberry Cake and the Raspberry Cake has non-permitted color additive and allergen, cochineal red A (also known as ponceau 4R).
The agency’s own wording, quoted from the enforcement report.
The unit total adds up the quantities the agency stated for each product. Where a product record gave no figure, or gave a weight rather than a count, it contributes nothing — so the real total is at least this, never less.
Authentic Gourmet is recalling Strawberry Filled Cake because FDA sample analysis detected non-permitted color additive and allergen cochineal red A.
Authentic Gourmet is recalling Raspberry Filled Cake because FDA analysis found non-permitted color additive and allergen cochineal red A.
