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 low probability of serious adverse health consequences. The hazard is undeclared artificial coloring, which is a labeling issue rather than a high-risk pathogen or structural defect, fitting the Moderate severity criteria for minor labeling errors or low-risk contamination.

Plain-English summary

Mexicantown Bakery, Inc. is recalling Concha Chocolate pastries. The product is a pastry containing soy, eggs, wheat, and FD&C Yellow #5 and #6. The recall is due to the presence of undeclared artificial coloring agents in the product.

The pastries were manufactured between August and November 2014. The source text indicates that the product was distributed domestically in Illinois. While the distribution pattern mentions Canada in relation to a different product (Tacos de Pina), the specific distribution scope for the Concha Chocolate pastries is limited to the domestic Illinois market as stated in the structured information.

Consumers who have purchased these pastries should check their pantries for the product. If found, consumers should discard the product or return it to the place of purchase. The recall is driven by labeling accuracy regarding artificial colorings.
