Wonton Specialists — Class III: Wonton Specialist Inc. Pan Fried Noodle, 16 oz and 5lb packaged in clear plastic bags
Wonton Specialists has initiated an ongoing Class III recall for its Pan Fried Noodles (16 oz and 5 lb sizes) due to the presence of undeclared FD&C Red No. 40. The product was distributed in clear plastic bags.
This recall affects Wonton Specialists, its distribution partners, and quality/compliance teams responsible for food labeling and ingredient verification.
While a Class III designation suggests the violation is unlikely to cause adverse health consequences, it indicates a failure in labeling controls and ingredient disclosure protocols. This action underscores the necessity for rigorous reconciliation between raw material inputs and final packaging copy to avoid enforcement for misbranding.
Quality units should verify that all color additives used in production, specifically FD&C Red No. 40, are accurately reflected on final product labels. Regulatory teams should audit ingredient statements against current formulations to ensure compliance with declaration requirements.
Class III. Reason: Undeclared FD&C Red No. 40. Product: Wonton Specialist Inc. Pan Fried Noodle, 16 oz and 5lb packaged in clear plastic bags. Firm: Wonton Specialists (Brooklyn NY United States). Status: Ongoing.
