Sobisk Orange Cream Cookies Recalled for Undeclared Food Dyes

Sobisk Foods LLC is recalling Orange Cream Cookies imported from India because they contain undeclared food dyes, including FD & C Red #3, Yellow #5, and #6.

What this means for you

Minor labeling or packaging issue, or a voluntary precautionary recall. Risk of harm is low but real — follow the manufacturer's instructions.

Our severity reasoning: The recall is classified as FDA Class II, which typically involves a reasonable probability of temporary or medically reversible health consequences. The hazard is undeclared food dyes, which is a labeling error rather than a high-risk pathogen or structural defect.
