El Ruisenor De Mexico, Inc. — Class III: Whole wheat flour; packaged in 1lb, 5lb, 50lb clear plastic units. No UPC
El Ruisenor De Mexico, Inc. has initiated a Class III recall for whole wheat flour packaged in various clear plastic unit sizes (1lb, 5lb, and 50lb) due to an undeclared wheat allergen. The affected products lack a UPC.
This recall affects El Ruisenor De Mexico, Inc., food manufacturers specializing in grain products, and regulatory professionals responsible for allergen labeling compliance.
While categorized as Class III (indicating a low probability of adverse health consequences), this action highlights a fundamental failure in labeling controls where the primary ingredient (wheat) was not properly declared as an allergen. The lack of a UPC suggests potential gaps in product identification and inventory management systems, which may complicate the ongoing recall process.
Regulatory and Quality teams should verify that all grain-based products undergo a label reconciliation process to ensure primary ingredients are correctly identified in the allergen statement. Firms should also ensure clear plastic packaging units include necessary identification such as UPCs to facilitate traceability in the event of a market withdrawal.
Class III. Reason: undeclared allergen ingredient (Wheat). Product: Whole wheat flour; packaged in 1lb, 5lb, 50lb clear plastic units. No UPC. Firm: El Ruisenor De Mexico, Inc. (Vernon CA United States). Status: Ongoing.
