- FDA notes
- Section 403(f) of the Act because the product label contains information in two languages, but does not repeat all the required information in both languages. The word "Rojo" within the product's statement of identity of "Mole Rojo" is not declared as the English translation of "Red" and the name of the food does not also appear in English as required by 21 CFR 101.15(c). Section 403(i)(2) of Act in that each ingredient is not declared by its common or usual name in accordance with 21 CFR 101.4. Specifically, FDA analysis of the Mole Paste Red (Rojo) product determined the presences of sorbate, a preservative, but sorbate is not declared on the product's label. The actual sorbate ingredient would need to be declared on the label. Section (403q) of the Act in that the nutrition information (e.g. Nutrition Facts Panel) is not in a correct format as required by 21 CFR 101.9. For example: o The serving size is not based on the appropriate RACC; therefore, all of the declared nutrient values are incorrect. The appropriate RACC category and reference amount for this product is "Sauces…, minor main entrée sauce, ¼ cup (___g)(60 mL)". The label declares a serving size of 100 grams; o Serving Size is not declared in household units; o Declarations for calories, sodium, and the vitamins and minerals are not in the proper increments; o Trans fat is not in the list of nutrients nor in a "not a significant source of _____" statement. Section 403(w) of the Act because the ingredient statement appears to contain at least one ingredient that is itself a multi-ingredient food, for example, "cookies," and the "cookies" sub-ingredients are not declared. If any of the sub-ingredients are major allergens, such as wheat, these ingredients should be declared. verified
