The hazard: Undeclared egg

This recall is a labelling failure: egg 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: Consumers who are allergic to eggs may run the risk of serious or life-threatening allergic reactions if they consume this product.

Why it matters: The label does not declare egg, 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 the company announced

HAR Maspeth Corp, Maspeth NY, is recalling its 8 ounce and 12 ounce packages of "JINGA GLASS NOODLES W/ VEGETABLES (Japche)" because they contain undeclared eggs. Consumers who are allergic to eggs may run the risk of serious or life-threatening allergic reactions if they consume this product.

The recalled "JINGA GLASS NOODLE W VEGETABLES (Japche)" were distributed to H Mart stores in multiple states. The product comes in 8-ounce and 12-ounce clear plastic packaging with Best By dates of March 13, 2025, through March 18, 2025, stamped on top. The product UPC codes are:

265405006495

267405004495

266405008496

268405005499

No illnesses or allergic reactions involving this product have been reported to date.

The recall was initiated after being notified by New York State Department of Agriculture and Markets Food Inspectors during a retail inspection and the presence of eggs in the 8 and 12 ounce packages of "JINGA GLASS NOODLES W/ VEGETABLES (Japche)" which did not declare an egg ingredient on the label.

Consumers who have purchased 8 and 12 ounce packages of "JINGA GLASS NODDLES W/ VEGETABLES (Japche)" are urged to return them to the place of purchase for a full refund. Consumers with questions may contact the company at 718-706-9300, Monday through Friday, 9:00 AM – 6:00 PM (Eastern Time).

What to do about Egg

Jinga — This recall is a labelling failure: egg 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 egg, stop serving the product immediately and check whether any was used in food already prepared.
  2. Tell anyone else who eats from your kitchen, including childminders, schools and anyone catering an event you contributed to.
  3. 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 egg, you may simply eat it — the recall is about disclosure, not spoilage.
  4. Make sure the household epinephrine auto-injector is where it should be and in date, if someone here carries one.

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.

Remedy named in the notice: Consumers who have purchased 8 and 12 ounce packages of "JINGA GLASS NODDLES W/ VEGETABLES (Japche)" are urged to return them to the place of purchase for a full refund.
