Daisho Kimchi Hotpot Soup Recalled for Incomplete Allergen Labeling

Daisho Kimchi hotpot soup is recalled due to incomplete allergen labeling. The label warns for fish but does not specify anchovy or sardine, and the Canadian product lists clams in ingredients but not in the allergen statement.

What this means for you

Minor labeling or packaging issue, or a voluntary precautionary recall. Risk of harm is low but real — follow the manufacturer's instructions.

Our severity reasoning: This is an FDA Class III recall with no reported illnesses or injuries. The hazard is incomplete and inconsistent allergen labeling that could affect consumers with fish or shellfish allergies. As a labeling defect without confirmed harm, it represents a theoretical risk rather than an imminent health threat.
