Mexicantown Wholesale Recalls Concha Chocolate for Undeclared Dye

Mexicantown Wholesale is voluntarily recalling Concha Chocolate products due to the presence of undeclared FD&C Yellow #6.

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 low probability of serious adverse health consequences. The hazard is an undeclared dye, which is a labeling error rather than a high-risk pathogen or structural defect.
