WASHINGTON, D.C. – The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has announced a nationwide recall by Niitakaya USA Inc., headquartered in Montebello, CA, concerning their 5.2-ounce packages of #3700 Shiso Katsuo Ninniku and #3701 Miso Katsuo Ninniku. This recall stems from undeclared fish allergens, specifically Bonito, which can pose severe health risks to individuals allergic to fish.
These products were distributed across retail stores and through various distributors nationwide. The affected items are packaged in clear plastic with the Niitakaya logo prominently displayed and have a Best By date indicated on the upper back section of the package.
The recall was initiated after it was discovered that the packaging failed to declare the presence of fish, a critical allergen, potentially endangering consumers with fish allergies. Fortunately, no illnesses related to these products have been reported at this time. However, the distribution of these products has been suspended until the company rectifies the labeling issue.
Niitakaya USA Inc. urges consumers who have purchased these products and are allergic to fish to return them to the place of purchase for a full refund. For additional information or inquiries, consumers can contact the company directly at 323-720-5050, available Monday to Friday from 7 AM to 3 PM PDT.
The recall serves as a precautionary measure to ensure consumer safety and highlights the importance of accurate allergen labeling in food products.
