Orgeat Almond Syrup Recalled Due to Potential Yeast Contamination

A C Calderoni & Co. Inc. is recalling Orgeat Almond Syrup due to potential yeast contamination in the product. The affected product was distributed to foodservice distributors and restaurants in California.

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 II classification indicates regulatory concern, but yeast is a low-risk contaminant, not among high-risk pathogens (Listeria, E. coli O157, Salmonella). No illnesses or injuries have been reported, qualifying this as a low-risk contamination recall.
