Plain-English summary

Giant Eagle, Inc. is recalling 432 units of Market District Wasabi Soybeans, 6 oz. packages with a Best By date of 3/6/17. The recall was initiated because the product contains undeclared wheat and soy allergens.

The top label on the lid correctly identified the product as 'Wasabi Soybeans,' but the ingredient label on the bottom of the container was for 'Wasabi Peas.' The 'Wasabi Peas' label did not include the wheat and soy allergen ingredients present in the soybeans.

The affected products were distributed in Ohio, Pennsylvania, and West Virginia. Consumers with these products should stop using them and contact Giant Eagle for a refund or further information.
