Catao Market Mini Gaceniga Cuban Loaf Cake recalled for undeclared Yellow #5 dye
What this means
Catao Market's Mini Gaceniga Authentic Cuban Loaf Cake contains FD&C Yellow #5 (tartrazine), a food dye that is not listed on the package label. This matters because people with tartrazine sensitivity or those avoiding the ingredient cannot identify it from the label. The affected cakes have Best By dates from December 18, 2025 through March 18, 2026 and were distributed in Florida.
- Do not eat Mini Gaceniga loaf cake with Best By dates 12/18/2025–03/18/2026
- Return the product to where you bought it for a refund or replacement
- If you have a sensitivity to Yellow #5 and consumed this cake, contact your doctor
