Bakery Cash & Carry Recalls Brandy Flavor Due to Allergen Mislabeling

Bakery Cash & Carry Inc. is recalling 3,360 units of Brandy flavor in Puerto Rico because the product lacks required allergen labeling.

What this means for you

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves allergen mislabeling on common allergens (Sulfites and FD&C dyes), which corresponds to a High severity score under the rubric, particularly as no illnesses are reported.

Plain-English summary

Bakery Cash & Carry Inc. is recalling 3,360 units of Brandy flavor. The product was distributed exclusively in Puerto Rico. The recall is due to a labeling deficiency where the product does not declare specific allergens.

The firm re-packs the bulk product for retail sale without standard labeling, using only handwritten product names. Consequently, the label fails to declare the presence of FD&C Red #40, Yellow #5, Yellow #6, Blue #1, and Sulfites.

Consumers who have purchased this product should check their inventory for Brandy flavor from this source. If the product is found, it should be discarded or returned to the place of purchase, as the missing allergen information poses a risk to individuals with sensitivities to the undeclared ingredients.
