Lobster Ball Product Recalled for Incomplete Shellfish Allergen Labeling
Lobster Ball frozen seafood is recalled for inadequate shellfish allergen labeling. The product contains shellfish but is labeled as 'may contain shellfish,' failing to properly warn consumers with shellfish allergies.
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: FDA Class II classification combined with allergen mislabeling of a major food allergen (shellfish) meets the rubric criterion for Score 3: 'Allergen mislabeling on common allergens.' No illnesses or injuries have been reported.
Plain-English summary
Lobster Ball is a frozen seafood product manufactured by Legend of Master International LLC. The product is made with surimi and contains flying fish roe, milk powder, and other ingredients.
The product contains shellfish but is labeled as 'may contain shellfish.'
