What Happened

SB FOOD LLC has initiated a voluntary recall of its Yoyo Gummy Tropical Flavor products.

This synthetic color additive is not authorized for use in food products within the United States.

• Product Name: Yoyo Gummy Tropical Flavor
• Size: 2.8 Oz (80g) plastic bags
• Packaging: 24 bags per case
• Quantity: 100 cases

What You Should Do

Consumers who have purchased the affected Yoyo Gummy Tropical Flavor bags are advised to stop consuming the product immediately. The items should be discarded or returned to the place of purchase for a refund. For additional information, consumers may contact SB FOOD LLC, located at 107 Delford Ave, Silver Spring, MD 20904.

Why This Matters

The FDA has designated this as a Class II recall. This classification indicates that while the product contains an unallowed additive, the potential health risks are typically temporary or medically reversible, though the product fails to meet U.S. food safety standards.
