Beverage concentrate recall due to undeclared Red #3 dye

Paletas Ice Cream is recalling Flor de Michoacan Blue Hawaiian Beverage Concentrate because the product contains undeclared Red #3 dye. Affected products were distributed in Arizona, New Mexico, Texas, and Utah.

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: This is an FDA Class III recall initiated voluntarily by the firm for a labeling failure with no reported illnesses or injuries. The undeclared Red #3 dye represents a disclosure and compliance issue rather than evidence of contamination or active harm. FDA Class III recalls are typically scored 1 or 2, and minor labeling errors map to Moderate (2).
