FL Shop Recalls Packed Ice Cream Bars With No Allergen Labeling

PARADISE FLAVORS LLC of Marathon, Florida is recalling all Paradise Flavors ice cream bars because these products may contain undeclared allergens including peanuts, tree nuts (chestnuts, walnuts, hazelnuts, pecans, pine nuts, cashews), wheat, soy, milk, and color additives ( FD&C blue #1, blue #2, red #3, red #5, red #6, red #40, yellow #5 yellow #6, yellow #8).  The recall was initiated after the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumers Services conducted an inspection of the facility and made the company aware that product labels failed to declare allergens including peanuts, tree nuts, wheat, soy, milk, and color additives.

The picture of the facility gives an idea of the small scope of the operation.  Too many of these small shops begin to distribute product without realizing there are applicable regulations such as allergen labeling.
