Plain-English summary
Orca Bay Foods LLC is recalling 356 cases of Trader Joe's brand Gluten Free Battered Halibut, SKU 00503822. The product is a frozen, 10-ounce item sold in retail carton boxes. The recall is due to undeclared wheat and milk allergens present in the product.
The retail box label lists ingredients including yellow corn flour, modified corn starch, and rice flour, and states 'CONTAINS HALIBUT.' However, the master case label correctly declares 'ALLERGENS: HALIBUT (FISH), WHEAT, MILK.' This discrepancy means the retail packaging does not accurately reflect the allergens contained in the product.
The affected product was distributed in Connecticut, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Maine, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New York, Ohio, Rhode Island, Tennessee, Vermont, and Wisconsin. The specific code on the retail box is 537312620, with a 'Best If Used By' date of Nov 5, 2021.
Consumers with this product should check their freezer for the specific SKU and code. If found, they should not consume the product and should contact the retailer or the recalling firm for instructions on disposal or return.
