Mexicantown Wholesale Recalls Cuernos Croissants Due to Undeclared Dye
Mexicantown Wholesale is voluntarily recalling Cuernos (croissants) because they contain undeclared FD&C Yellow #6, a food dye that may cause allergic reactions in sensitive individuals.
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, fitting the Moderate severity criteria for minor labeling errors or low-risk contamination.
