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: Undeclared sulfites constitute allergen mislabeling of a common allergen that can cause serious reactions in sensitive individuals, meeting the Score 3 criteria. Although no illnesses have been reported and this is an FDA Class III recall, allergen mislabeling on common allergens is explicitly rated as High severity.

Plain-English summary

SLR Food Distribution, Inc. is recalling dried longans distributed in Connecticut, Florida, Illinois, Minnesota, New Jersey, New York, and Pennsylvania. The recalled product was produced under batch number B2Y20L04 and consists of 18 cases.

The dried longans contain undeclared sulfites. Sulfites are food additives used as preservatives but can trigger allergic reactions and asthma symptoms in individuals with sulfite sensitivity. Because sulfites are not declared on the label, consumers with sensitivity may unknowingly consume the product and experience adverse health effects.

Consumers who have purchased the affected dried longans should not consume them. The product should be disposed of or returned to the retailer. Individuals who believe they have consumed the affected product and experienced adverse effects should contact their healthcare provider.
