Charles Boggini Yellow Lemonade Recalled for Undeclared Yellow No. 5

Charles Boggini Company is recalling Yellow Lemonade and Yellow Lemonade X (1 and 5 gallon sizes) due to undeclared FD&C Yellow No. 5. Consumers with tartrazine sensitivity should not consume the affected 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 III classification with no reported illnesses or injuries. While undeclared allergen (FD&C Yellow No. 5) presents a risk to tartrazine-sensitive consumers, the agency's lowest classification and absence of documented harm justify a Moderate score.
