Recall Insight

This FDA Food action (record #F-0355-2017) was formally reported on November 16, 2016, with the manufacturer initiating the action on November 13, 2015. It is classified under Low severity (Class III), with a current status of Terminated. Lee'S Food Corp is listed as the recalling firm, operating out of Fairfield, NJ. Federal records indicate 20 cases units are affected.

The documented reason for this recall is: Sampling analysis revealed the product contains undeclared colors (FD&C Red #3 and Red #40). Distribution data in the federal record shows the product reached: NJ and NY. Distribution scope directly affects the consumer exposure window and determines whether a recall remains regional or escalates into a nationwide advisory.

To put this record in context, PlainRecalls indexes 83,949 recalls across the FDA, CPSC, NHTSA and USDA FSIS going back to 1995. Within the same product category, the database holds 6 closely related recalls, of which 6 were also issued by FDA Food. That clustering is a signal — repeated actions in a narrow category often indicate a systemic quality-control issue, a supplier-wide contamination, or a design defect that has propagated across product lines. This recall is roughly 10 years old; older recalls can remain relevant because many units enter resale, rental, and secondary-market channels where the original warning never reaches the end user. Always cross-check the recall number against the official agency page before relying on any summary.
