FDA Issues Major Recall for Fruit Pops Over Allergen Fears
23 Jul
Summary
- Fruit pops recalled for undeclared milk, pecans, and pistachios.
- FDA classified recall as Class I due to health risks, including death.
- Recall affects 16 flavors, totaling over 57,000 fruit pops.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has classified a fruit pop recall as Class I, signaling a serious risk of adverse health effects or death. This recall was initiated after an FDA inspection revealed deficiencies in manufacturing processes aimed at preventing allergen cross-contact at D'Dioses Fruit Pops' Paterson, New Jersey facility.
The affected products may contain undeclared milk, pecans, pistachios, yellow #5, and red #40. Tree nuts and milk are major allergens, while the color additives were slated for elimination by April 2025. The recall encompasses 57,240 fruit pops in 16 distinct flavors.
While no illnesses were reported at the time of the initial announcement, D'Dioses Fruit Pops has since implemented corrective actions as directed by the FDA. The Class I designation underscores the potential for severe health outcomes, making this a critical consumer safety alert for those who have purchased or consumed the recalled items.
