Recall Insight

This FDA Food action (record #F-2017-2014) was formally reported on June 18, 2014, with the manufacturer initiating the action on March 21, 2014. It is classified under Moderate severity (Class II), with a current status of Terminated. Hot Pandeyuca & Company Inc is listed as the recalling firm, operating out of Hialeah, FL. Federal records indicate 1,651 boxes of 50 units each units are affected, a scale large enough to require multi-state distribution tracking.

The documented reason for this recall is: During an FDA inspection, it was discovered that the label of several products failed to declare the components ingredients of a butter flavor that included allergens FD&C Yellow #5, FD&C Yellow #6 and FD&C Red #40. Distribution data in the federal record shows the product reached: FL and NC Panama. 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 12 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.
