F-Bombs S'Mores Truffles Recalled for Undeclared Yellow Food Dyes

Fox Confections LLC recalls F-Bombs S'Mores Truffles due to undeclared FD&C Yellow #5 and Yellow #6 food dyes. The product may trigger reactions in individuals sensitive to these colorants.

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: This product contains mislabeled ingredients (undeclared FD&C Yellow #5 and Yellow #6) that represent a risk of harm to individuals sensitive to these food dyes. No illnesses or injuries have been reported in the source material, but the undeclared nature prevents at-risk consumers from identifying and avoiding the product.

Plain-English summary

Fox Confections LLC is recalling F-Bombs S'Mores Truffles in 12-ounce plastic packaging (UPC 850036018155, Product No. 01815) because the product contains undeclared FD&C Yellow #5 and Yellow #6 food dyes. A total of 126 packages were distributed to approximately 90 retail locations in Illinois and Ohio.

FD&C Yellow #5 and Yellow #6 are food coloring additives that may trigger reactions or sensitivity symptoms in individuals with known sensitivity to these dyes, particularly those with asthma or aspirin sensitivity. Because these colorants were not disclosed on the product label, consumers cannot avoid potential exposure based on the labeling information.

Consumers who have purchased this product and are sensitive to Yellow #5 or Yellow #6 should not consume it. Any concerns about consumption should be directed to a healthcare provider. Retailers in Illinois and Ohio should remove all remaining product from shelves.
