Plain-English summary
Companion Foods Corp. is recalling 140 cartons of Szechuan Style Kung-Pao Sauce (Hot Papao Lajan), 10 oz. cans, 24 cans per case. The product is a product of Taiwan and was distributed in California, New Jersey, and Illinois. The affected lot numbers are 4808-BV25A and 6225-BV25B, with best before dates of 8/8/2017 and 2/25/2019.
The recall was initiated after an FDA inspection at the manufacturing facility identified that seven products, including this sauce, do not properly declare wheat as a sub-ingredient of soy sauce in the ingredient list. Although wheat is listed in the 'Contains' statement, the specific ingredient list omission creates a labeling error.
Individuals with a wheat allergy or celiac disease should not consume this product. Consumers who have purchased this product should check their pantry for the specific lot numbers and best before dates listed above. If the product is found, consumers should stop using it and contact the recalling firm for further instructions or a refund.
