What this means for you

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves allergen mislabeling on a common allergen (fish), which corresponds to a severity score of 3 (High) per the rubric, as no illnesses or injuries are reported in the source text.

Plain-English summary

Wismettac Asian Foods, Inc. is recalling 7,789 packs of Shirakiku Buckwheat Noodles Yamaimo Soba With Concentration Soup Base, 435G SK. The product is distributed in Alaska, Arizona, California, Colorado, Illinois, Kansas, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, New Jersey, Nevada, New York, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania, and Washington. No foreign distribution is reported.

The recall was initiated because the product label identifies bonito, but the dipping sauce actually contains skipjack tuna, yellowfin tuna, and bluefin tuna. Additionally, the label does not state the general allergen name of fish. This mislabeling poses a risk to consumers with fish allergies.

Consumers with questions about the recall may contact Wismettac Asian Foods, Inc. in Santa Fe Springs, California. Individuals with a fish allergy should not consume the product.
