Radish Turnip Cake Recalled for Undeclared Wheat Starch and Sulfites

Southern Taiwan LLC is recalling Radish Turnip Cake distributed in Washington due to undeclared wheat starch and sulfites. The product poses a risk to consumers with wheat or sulfite allergies.

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 of common allergens (wheat starch and sulfites). The source text reports no illnesses or injuries, making the hazard currently theoretical. However, undeclared allergens on food products create a direct risk of harm to consumers with allergies.

Plain-English summary

Southern Taiwan LLC is recalling Radish Turnip Cake (without shrimp) sold in 900-gram (32-ounce) clear plastic packages marked with UPC #425404904110. The product contains undeclared wheat starch and sulfites that are not listed on the package label.

Wheat starch and sulfites are common food allergens that can trigger allergic reactions in sensitive individuals. The absence of these ingredients from the label means consumers with wheat or sulfite allergies may unknowingly consume the product and face an allergic reaction.

Approximately 40 packages of the recalled product were distributed in Washington state. The affected product bears expiration dates of 9/6/23 and 9/11/23. Consumers who have purchased this product should not consume it and should either dispose of it or return it to the point of purchase.
