El Ruisenor De Mexico, Inc. — Class I: Special Red Almond Mole Powder; packaged in 1lb, 5lb, 11lb clear plastic units. No UPC
El Ruisenor De Mexico, Inc. has initiated a Class I recall for its Special Red Almond Mole Powder due to undeclared allergens and color additives. The recall affects 1lb, 5lb, and 11lb clear plastic units containing undeclared sesame, peanuts, wheat, soy, almonds, walnuts, Yellow #5, Yellow #6, Red #40, and Blue #2.
This recall affects El Ruisenor De Mexico, Inc., retail and wholesale distributors of the mole powder, and quality/compliance departments responsible for ingredient labeling and allergen control programs.
A Class I designation indicates a reasonable probability that exposure to the product will cause serious adverse health consequences or death due to the extensive list of undeclared allergens and synthetic dyes. The absence of a UPC and the multiple undeclared ingredients suggest potential gaps in labeling controls, master formulation records, or supplier verification programs. Regulatory teams should view this as a significant failure in allergen cross-contact or labeling verification protocols.
Immediately verify all product labels against raw material specifications to ensure all allergens and color additives are declared. Conduct a batch-level reconciliation to identify any distributed product missing UPCs or required disclosures. Review supplier certifications for ingredients containing multiple allergens or synthetic dyes.
Class I. Reason: undeclared allergen ingredient (Sesame, Peanuts, Wheat, Soy, Almonds, Walnuts, Yellow#5, Yellow#6, Red#40, Blue#2). Product: Special Red Almond Mole Powder; packaged in 1lb, 5lb, 11lb clear plastic units. No UPC. Firm: El Ruisenor De Mexico, Inc. (Vernon CA United States). Status: Ongoing.
