Chu Minh Tofu Recalled Due to Lack of Hot Water in Facility
Chu Minh Corp is recalling fresh and fried tofu products because they were produced in a facility without available hot water.
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 II, but the source text does not report any illnesses, injuries, or specific high-risk pathogens. The hazard is related to facility sanitation (lack of hot water), which fits the criteria for a moderate risk or voluntary precautionary recall where no harm has been reported.
