Mangetsu Ebisen Crackers Recalled for Undeclared Krill Allergen

Mangetsu Ebisen 54g crackers are recalled because krill is present in the product but not listed in the ingredients statement, only in a general shellfish warning.

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: This is an FDA Class II recall for allergen mislabeling (krill not declared in ingredients). Krill is a shellfish, a major food allergen, and the source text does not report any illnesses or injuries, making this a High (3) severity issue per the rubric.

Mangetsu Ebisen 54g crackers (UPC: 4901053011370), manufactured by DAISO CALIFORNIA WAREHOUSE, are being recalled. The product contains krill but does not list krill in the ingredients statement.

This is an allergen labeling issue. The product's label warns consumers of fish (cuttlefish) and shellfish (shrimp) content, but krill—a shellfish product—is not explicitly listed in the ingredients. This undisclosed ingredient may cause harm to consumers with krill or shellfish allergies.
