“The Popcorn Shoppe Popcorn Balls: Missing Milk, Soy & Yellow #5 Label.” GovInfoNow, updated October 8, 2026. https://govinfonow.com/recall/22878-the-popcorn-shoppe-popcorn-balls-missing-milk-soy-yellow-5. Based on FDA recall #F-0608-2017 (https://api.fda.gov/food/enforcement.json?search=recall_number:%22F-0608-2017%22&limit=1).

Why it’s dangerous

The product label failed to declare milk, soy, and yellow #5, which are ingredients that could cause allergic reactions in sensitive individuals. This labeling omission means consumers with these allergies might not be aware of potential allergens.

Who’s affected
