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 (undeclared anchovies) on common allergens, which fits the criteria for a High severity score (3) as no illnesses or injuries are reported in the source text.

Plain-English summary

Son In Law Products is voluntarily recalling three varieties of barbecue sauce: Hot & Medium Smoking BBQ, Garlic & Honey Horseradish BBQ, and Cherry BBQ Sauces. The recall was initiated after a routine inspection by the State of Michigan revealed that the products contain anchovies, which are not declared on the product labeling.

The affected products are distributed in 12-ounce glass bottles. The recall covers all lots of these specific varieties. The 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 for the presence of anchovies. If the product is one of the recalled varieties and anchovies are not listed as an ingredient, consumers should stop using the product and contact the manufacturer for instructions on disposal or return.
