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 (anchovies) on common allergens, which corresponds to a High severity score per the rubric.

Plain-English summary

Son In Law Products is recalling specific varieties of BBQ sauce, including Medium Smoking BBQ Sauce, Hot & Medium Smoking BBQ, Garlic & Honey horseradish BBQ, and Cherry BBQ Sauces. The recall involves 12-ounce glass bottles.

The firm initiated the recall after a routine inspection by the State of Michigan revealed that the products contained anchovies, which were not declared on the labeling. This mislabeling poses a risk to consumers with allergies to anchovies.

The affected products were distributed domestically in Michigan, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, and Illinois. No foreign distribution is reported. Consumers who have purchased these products should check their labels and stop using them if they contain undeclared anchovies.
