Tortilleria Provincia Yellow Corn Tortillas Recalled for Labeling Error

Tortilleria Provincia is recalling Yellow Corn Tortillas because the packaging labels were incorrectly used for Blue corn tortillas, creating a labeling discrepancy.

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, but the source text describes a labeling error without reporting any illnesses or injuries, fitting the criteria for a moderate severity labeling issue.

Plain-English summary

Tortilleria Provincia is recalling Refrigerate After Purchase Yellow Corn Tortillas in 16 oz and 64 oz packages. The recall is due to a labeling error where the firm used the same clear plastic bags with Nutrition Facts and Ingredients listed for all three types of corn tortillas (Yellow, White, and Blue). Specifically, the color Yellow # 2 was written in lieu of Yellow # 6 for the Blue corn tortilla, and additional color ingredients (FD&C BLUE No. 1, FD&C YELLOW No. 2, FD&C RED N. 40, SODIUM BENZOATE) are included for the White and Yellow corn tortillas.

The affected products were shipped to Kentucky and Ohio. The source text does not specify the number of units recalled or report any illnesses or injuries associated with the product.

Consumers with these products should stop using them and follow the instructions provided by the recalling firm or the FDA for disposal or return.
