Vegetarian Tuna Fish Recalled for Undeclared Wheat Allergen
Companion Foods Corp. is recalling Vegetarian Tuna Fish cans because an FDA inspection found wheat was not properly declared in the ingredient list.
What this means for you
Minor labeling or packaging issue, or a voluntary precautionary recall. Risk of harm is low but real — follow the manufacturer's instructions.
Our severity reasoning: The recall is classified as FDA Class III, which typically corresponds to a score of 1 or 2. However, because it involves an allergen mislabeling issue (wheat), it is rated as Moderate (2) rather than Low (1) to reflect the potential risk to sensitive individuals, consistent with the rubric's treatment of labeling errors and precautionary measures.
