Pattern Notes

Five of the six recalls share the same recalling firm (El Ruisenor De Mexico, Inc.) and the same initiation date (2026-08-24), suggesting a potentially systemic labeling compliance issue at that firm across multiple product lines [1][2][3][5][6]. This observation is interpretive and should be validated by human reviewers before publication.

The Voila Juice recall is unrelated and concerns a food safety process control issue (5-log pathogen reduction) rather than allergen labeling [4].

Material Gaps

Lot numbers, production dates, and best-by dates are not provided in the source evidence for any recall.
No UPCs are listed for four of the five El Ruisenor products, which may complicate product identification at retail.
Recall status reflects the enforcement report date (2026-10-28) and collection date (2026-11-03); current status is unknown and must be confirmed with FDA.
No information is available on the volume of product distributed or the number of units affected.
