Class II U.S. Food and Drug Administration

Eunha Fisheries Co., LTD Sliced Korean Halibut with Soy sauce, Wasabi recall: Foreign Manufacturer label contains Undeclared allergen ingredients Wheat

Recall published 2 months ago

Foreign Manufacturer label contains Undeclared allergen ingredients Wheat, Soy, Sesame, Yellow #5 and Blue #1 in Frozen Flounder Products.

The hazard: Undeclared sesame

This recall is a labelling failure: sesame is present and the label does not say so. That is harmless to most households and genuinely dangerous to a few.

What the notice says: Foreign Manufacturer label contains Undeclared allergen ingredients Wheat, Soy, Sesame, Yellow #5 and Blue #1 in Frozen Flounder Products.

Why it matters: The label does not declare sesame, so anyone who reads labels to avoid it has no way of knowing it is in there. For people without that allergy the product is safe to eat.

Symptoms and when to call a doctor

An undeclared allergen is a danger only to people allergic or intolerant to that ingredient. For everyone else the food is safe. Reactions range from an itchy mouth, hives, stomach cramps or vomiting through to anaphylaxis — swelling of the lips, tongue or throat, a tight chest, wheezing, a sudden drop in blood pressure or collapse. If anaphylaxis is suspected, use an epinephrine auto-injector straight away and call 911, even if the symptoms seem to settle, because a second wave can follow hours later.

What to do about Sesame

Eunha Fisheries Co., LTD — This recall is a labelling failure: sesame is present and the label does not say so. That is harmless to most households and genuinely dangerous to a few.

  1. If anyone in your household avoids sesame, stop serving the product immediately and check whether any was used in food already prepared.
  2. If a reaction has already happened, report it to the FDA through its consumer complaint coordinator so the case is attached to this recall.
  3. Tell anyone else who eats from your kitchen, including childminders, schools and anyone catering an event you contributed to.
  4. Keep the pack if you want a refund, or photograph the label and the lot code and then bin it. If nobody in the house avoids sesame, you may simply eat it — the recall is about disclosure, not spoilage.

How to get your money back

Food recalls carry a full refund, and in the United States you usually do not need the receipt or the packaging.

  • Take the product, or your photo of the label, to the customer service desk of the store where you bought it. Nearly every national grocer refunds recalled food on the spot.
  • Bought it online? Open the order in your account and use the refund option; marketplace sellers are required to honour a federal recall.
  • If the store refuses, contact the recalling company using the details on this page. The firm, not the shop, carries the cost of a recall.
  • If you have a loyalty card, the retailer can look the purchase up in your history — Kroger, Costco and Walmart all do this routinely.
