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 a Class II recall involving failure to declare FDA-approved food colors. No illnesses or injuries have been reported, and the primary issue is a labeling violation rather than an active contamination. The hazard is informational and precautionary in nature.

Plain-English summary

Elegant Foods, LLC is recalling Lavender Macaron product (product code 21264A, sold in cases of 100) because the macarons contain but do not declare six artificial food colors: FD&C Blue #1, Blue #2, Red #3, Yellow #5, Yellow #6, and Red #40.

Approximately 105 cases were distributed in Wisconsin. The product was manufactured by Elegant Foods, LLC at 537 Atlas Ave, Madison, WI 53714.
