FDA chief explains how agency is 'rewriting the food pyramid'
FDA commissioner Dr. Marty Makary outlines the issues associated with petroleum-based food dyes and the 'bigger issue' the agency aims to tackle on 'The Evening Edit.'
More than 57,000 frozen burrito meals sold at Target stores nationwide are being recalled for containing an undeclared allergen, according to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
Rochester-based One Frozen is voluntarily recalling certain lots of Good & Gather Southwest-Style Burrito Bowl Blend, which were frozen and sold in 12-ounce bags, because they may contain shrimp. The recall was prompted after three consumers reported the "possible presence of shrimp in this product." However, no illnesses were reported as of Sept. 10.

Shrimp was not declared on the ingredient list on the packaging of the product, which means people who have an allergy or severe sensitivity to shellfish run the risk of a serious or life-threatening allergic reaction if they consume this product, according to the FDA announcement.
Shellfish allergies can lead to anaphylaxis, which can be life-threatening. Someone may be at increased risk of anaphylaxis if they have asthma, allergic reactions to very small amounts of shellfish (extreme sensitivity), a history of food-induced anaphylaxis and a strong family history of allergy.
