WASHINGTON, D.C. — The Food and Drug Administration has announced a recall by Prime Foods Processing LLC of Brooklyn, NY, involving 477 cases of two varieties of Egg Custard Steamed Buns. The recall is due to the possible presence of undeclared sesame, posing a serious risk to individuals with sesame allergies.
The affected products, distributed between May 30, 2024, and June 28, 2024, reached 27 states, including Arizona, California, Pennslyvania, and others. They were sold primarily through Asian grocery stores.
The recalled items are:
- Item #PD4180: Steam Buns with Egg Custard Added, Lot Codes #24149 and #24150, Expiration 10/2025, UPC Code 797803704050
- Item #PD4190: Steam Buns with Egg Custard and Coconut Added, Lot Code #24149, Expiration 10/2025, UPC Code 797803704869
These frozen products are packaged in bright yellow wrappers, with code date information found on the bottom left side panel.
The labeling issue was identified internally, and no consumer complaints or illnesses have been reported. The problem arose from six cases of Sesame Steamed Buns being mistakenly packaged as Egg Custard Steamed Buns due to a temporary breakdown in packaging processes, which has since been resolved.
Consumers who purchased the affected products should return them to the place of purchase with the uneaten buns and packaging for a full refund. For further inquiries, contact Prime Foods at 718-963-2323, Monday through Friday, from 8:00 am to 5:00 pm Eastern Standard Time.
