Tortilla Chips Recalled Due to Undeclared Yellow #5 Dye
La Mexicana Tortilla Factory is recalling Tortilla Chip Green 4 cut products due to undeclared Yellow #5, an FDA-certified colorant that poses a risk to consumers with dye sensitivities or allergies.
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: This is an FDA Class II recall involving undeclared Yellow #5, a permitted food additive. The source text does not report any illnesses or injuries; the hazard is a labeling omission affecting consumers with known sensitivities, which meets the Moderate threshold for minor labeling errors and low-risk allergen issues where no illness has been reported.
Plain-English summary
La Mexicana Tortilla Factory, Inc., located in Duncanville, Texas, is recalling Tortilla Chip Green 4 cut products packed in 5-pound bags (6 bags per box) with code 25072-4 due to the presence of undeclared Yellow #5. The affected product consists of 3 boxes distributed in Texas.
Yellow #5 is a permitted food colorant but must be declared on the product label. The failure to declare this ingredient means consumers sensitive to or allergic to synthetic dyes may be exposed without warning.
