The Candy Basket Inc is recalling Raspberry Jelly Sticks DARK for undeclared Red #40 and Potassium Sorbate. A total of 516 four-pound bulk boxes were distributed in California, Oregon, and Washington.
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: FDA Class III recall with no reported illnesses or injuries. The undeclared additives (Red #40 and Potassium Sorbate) are approved food ingredients, making this a labeling disclosure issue rather than a safety hazard with reported harm.
