Lead contamination recall
In August 2012, California health authorities announced a recall of one lot of Red Vines black licorice after testing found lead contamination. The affected products were one-pound packages marked with the best-before date 020413. Reported testing found as much as 0.33 parts per million of lead in the candy.
