Taro Flavor Powder Recalled for Undeclared Milk and Color Additive Mislabeling

RED SUN TARO FLAVOR POWDER is recalled due to undeclared milk (sodium caseinate) and incorrect color additive labeling. The product was distributed in Iowa and may pose a risk to consumers with milk allergies.

What this means for you

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: The product contains undeclared milk (sodium caseinate), a common allergen. The source reports no illnesses or injuries, and the FDA classified this as Class II rather than Class I, indicating potential risk without reported serious consequences.

Plain-English summary

RED SUN TARO FLAVOR POWDER, net weight 1000g (2.2 lbs), packaged in PEP and aluminum foil bags, is being recalled. A total of 88 bags were distributed in Iowa.

The product has two labeling defects. The label incorrectly lists FD&C Red #1 as the color additive instead of the actual FD&C Blue #1. Additionally, the product contains sodium caseinate, a milk-derived ingredient, but does not declare milk on the label. For consumers with milk allergies, this undeclared allergen presents a health risk.

The recall affects consumers in Iowa. The FDA recall number is F-0247-2023, and the product identifier is PI Number: US0122205024. The manufacturer is Carrying International Food Corp.

Consumers with milk allergies should not consume this product. Those without a milk allergy may use the product, but should be aware of the mislabeled color additive.
