Las Ollas Botana Mix Snacks and Delights 2 lb packages recall: Undeclared wheat, sesame, soy, yellow 5, yellow 6, red 6

Recall published 1+ years ago

Undeclared wheat, sesame, soy, yellow 5, yellow 6, red 6

The hazard: Undeclared sesame

An undeclared allergen — sesame — is the whole reason for this notice. The food itself is not spoiled or contaminated.

What the notice says: People who have an allergy or severe sensitivity to Sesame, Soy, Wheat, Yellow No 5, Yellow No 6 and Red No 6, run the risk of serious or life-threatening allergic reaction if they consume these 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.

Las Ollas Botana Mix Snacks 2 lb packages were distributed in Texas and reached consumers through both wholesale and retail stores. The product is not available on-line.

The bag clearly states 2 lb on the front. Nutrition facts and ingredients are also listed on the front of the package. There is a UPC on the front as well. The expiration date is on the back of the package.

No illnesses have been reported to date.

The recall was initiated after the FDA discovered in a routine inspection that the product containing the Sesame, Soy, Wheat, Yellow No 5, Yellow No 6, and Red No 6 was distributed in packaging that did not reveal the presence of these ingredients and subsequent investigation indicated that the problem was caused by a production printing problem with the label.

What to do about Sesame

Las Ollas — An undeclared allergen — sesame — is the whole reason for this notice. The food itself is not spoiled or contaminated.

  1. If anyone in your household avoids sesame, stop serving the product immediately and check whether any was used in food already prepared.
  2. 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.
  3. Make sure the household epinephrine auto-injector is where it should be and in date, if someone here carries one.
  4. If a reaction has already happened, report it to the FDA through its consumer complaint coordinator so the case is attached to this recall.

Refunds, and what else you can claim

The purchase price is the floor, not the ceiling. Where a recall caused you a real cost, say so.

  • Claim the refund at the store first; it is the fastest route and needs the least paperwork.
  • If you bought several packs over time, list them. Firms routinely settle for more than a single unit when a customer asks.
  • Medical costs, lost earnings or a spoiled event are not handled at the service desk. Write to the company contact on this page instead, with dates and documents.
  • Keep copies of everything you send. If a recall caused harm, that file is what any later claim rests on.

Remedy named in the notice: Consumers who have purchased the 2 lb packages of Botana Mix Snacks are urged to return them to the place of purchase for a full refund.
