Plain-English summary
The Candy Basket Inc is recalling Lemon Jelly Sticks WHITE (item number CB750-W) due to undeclared Yellow #5 dye and Potassium Sorbate. A total of 516 4-pound boxes were affected, distributed to candy stores in California, Oregon, and Washington. The product label does not list these ingredients despite their presence in the candy.
Yellow #5 is an FDA-approved food colorant, but must be declared on product labels. Some consumers, particularly those with sensitivities or certain conditions, may experience adverse reactions to undeclared dyes. Potassium Sorbate is a food preservative. Both additives should have been listed on the product label.
Affected lot numbers are all lots up to 025014. Consumers who have purchased this product should check their packaging. If the product is unlabeled or the label does not list Yellow #5 and Potassium Sorbate, do not consume it if you are sensitive to food dyes or additives.
