Class III U.S. Food and Drug Administration

Wonton Specialist Inc. Wonton Skin, 16 oz - packaged in foam tray recall: Undeclared FD&C Red No. 40

Recall published last month

Undeclared FD&C Red No. 40

The hazard: Undeclared allergen or ingredient

The food itself is fine. What is wrong is the label, and for the households that rely on that label it is a real risk.

What the notice says: Undeclared FD&C Red No. 40

Why it matters: An ingredient that U.S. law requires to be declared is present but missing from the label. People who avoid that ingredient cannot make a safe choice from the packaging.

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 Allergen

Wonton Specialists — The food itself is fine. What is wrong is the label, and for the households that rely on that label it is a real risk.

  1. Read the official notice above for the exact ingredient involved, then check whether anyone in your home avoids it.
  2. Report any reaction to the FDA so it is recorded against this recall.
  3. If nobody here avoids it, the product is safe to eat; the refund is still available if you would rather return it.
  4. If someone does avoid it, stop serving it and check anything already cooked with it.

Getting a refund without the pack

The commonest reason people skip the refund is that they have already thrown the item away. That rarely matters.

  • A photo of the label and lot code is accepted by most grocers, and so is a card statement line showing the purchase.
  • Store credit is often offered first. You can ask for the original payment method instead, and it is normally granted.
  • No photo either? Ask anyway. Grocery chains settle recall refunds at the service desk because disputing them costs more than paying them.
  • For a multi-pack or a case, ask for the full purchase price rather than a per-unit figure — the recall covers what you paid.
