Holiday Macaron Variety Recalled for Undeclared Food Colors

Elegant Foods is recalling Holiday Macaron Variety packages due to missing label declarations for six FDA-approved food colorants. Consumers with sensitivities to dyes should not consume these products.

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 labeling violation for undeclared food colorants with no reported illnesses or injuries. The hazard is insufficient label transparency regarding approved food additives, classified as a moderate labeling deficiency.

Plain-English summary

Elegant Foods, LLC is recalling Holiday Macaron Variety products distributed in Wisconsin. The affected products were manufactured under code 22032A. The recall was issued because the macarons were not labeled with declarations for six food colorants: FD&C Blue #1, Blue #2, Red #3, Yellow #5, Yellow #6, and Red #40.

These colorants are FDA-approved for use in food products but must be declared on product labels. Missing declarations prevent consumers—particularly those with sensitivities or preferences regarding food additives—from making informed purchasing and consumption decisions.

Consumers who have purchased Holiday Macaron Variety should check the product code on their packaging. Those with sensitivities to food colorants should not consume the affected product. For further information, contact Elegant Foods, LLC at 537 Atlas Ave, Madison, WI 53714.
