Tortilleria Provincia Recalls Blue Corn Tortillas Due to Labeling Error
Tortilleria Provincia is recalling Blue Corn Tortillas because the packaging incorrectly lists ingredients and color additives intended for other tortilla varieties.
The agency’s classification
FDA (Food): Class II
Class II is a situation in which use of or exposure to a violative product may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences, or where the probability of serious adverse health consequences is remote.
This is the agency’s own classification, taken from its notice. The severity score below is our assessment, not the agency’s. How recall classes work
What this means for you
Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 2/5 (Moderate).
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 regarding color additives and ingredients without reporting any illnesses or injuries, fitting the criteria for a moderate severity labeling issue.
Plain-English summary
Tortilleria Provincia is recalling 96 64-ounce bags and 12 16-ounce bags of Refrigerate After Purchase Blue Corn Tortillas. The product was distributed to Kentucky and Ohio.
The recall was initiated because 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). The label for the Blue corn tortillas incorrectly states that Yellow # 2 was used in lieu of Yellow # 6. Additionally, the label lists color ingredients (FD&C BLUE No. 1, FD&C YELLOW No. 2, FD&C RED N. 40, SODIUM BENZOATE) that are included for the White and Yellow corn tortillas, but not necessarily for the Blue variety.
Consumers who purchased these products should check their inventory for the specific UPCs 0 89780 10000 1 (16 oz) and 0 89780 10001 8 (64 oz) and the associated use-by dates. The source text does not specify instructions for disposal or return, but consumers should stop using the product if they are concerned about the labeling discrepancy.
