Brownwood Farms Peach Salsa Recalled for Undeclared Yellow 5 Ingredient

Brownwood Farms is recalling Peach Salsa because it contains Yellow 5, a color additive not declared on the label.

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 reasonable probability that the use of the product will cause temporary or medically reversible health consequences. The hazard is an undeclared ingredient (Yellow 5), which is a labeling error rather than a high-risk pathogen or structural defect.

Plain-English summary

Brownwood Farms is recalling 4,600 units of Peach Salsa in 17-ounce glass bottles, as well as private-label versions sold under the names Bowers Harbor Vineyard (12-ounce) and Crossroads. The recall is due to the presence of Yellow 5, a color additive that is not declared on the product label.

The affected products were distributed nationwide and in Canada. The recall includes all product on the market with a best-by date prior to September 30, 2017.

Consumers who have purchased these products should check their labels for the presence of Yellow 5 or contact the manufacturer for more information. Individuals with known allergies to Yellow 5 should avoid consuming the product.
