On January 31, Oak Cliff Beverage Works issued a voluntary recall of its Beverage Base Lemonade, which was sold in three and five-gallon containers. A 2015 study published by Anticancer Research also found that Yellow 5 caused damage to human white blood cells after three hours of exposure to the synthetic dye. The FDA has classified the Beverage Base Lemonade recall as Class II The classification of the recall, due to Yellow 5, comes after the FDA banned the dye known as Red 3 from the nation’s food supply.
