An El Paso distributor has voluntarily recalled another type of Mexican candy because of high lead levels.

The candy is made of orange grains, packaged in white plastic containers with a red, shaker-style lid. The label has red letters and a picture of a red chile above the product's name, according to the Texas Department of State Health Services.
