The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has issued a recall for Golden Crop Candy sold in eight states, including New York. The recall was initiated by Blooming Import Inc. in Brooklyn after the presence of undeclared color additives was found. The order affects 74 cases, which include dyes Blue 1, Red 40 and Acid Red 18, which were not declared on the label.

A Class II recall is an FDA classification for products that may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences, or where the probability of serious health issues is remote. Examples include mislabeled drugs with minor potency issues or devices posing temporary risks, like a toy with a choking hazard for young children. These recalls are typically voluntary, initiated by manufacturers, but monitored by the FDA to ensure effective removal or correction.

The Golden Crop Candy recall affects eight states. Color additives have been under scrutiny since the FDA banned Red Dye No. 3, citing links to cancer. California also banned several dyes last year. The agency requires brands to label products for dyes for those who are sensitive to such ingredients.
