HAIOREUM, RICE POP SNACK, KOREAN STYLE SNACK 0.41 LBS (190 G)

Grand Supercenter INC. recalled HAIOREUM, RICE POP SNACK, KOREAN STYLE SNACK 0.41 LBS (190 G) in a Class II action, the FDA tier for products that may cause temporary or medically reversible health effects on Sep 18, 2017.

The FDA listed the reason as an undeclared allergen: "The firm, Grand Supercenter Inc., was notified by USFDA NY District Office that they received a report from a consumer in which there was an allergy reaction after the person consumed Haioreum Rice Pop Snack. The firm Grand Supercenter Inc. has decided to recall the product involved in this incident due to Undeclared Wheat allergen." Allergen mislabeling is the leading cause of U.S. food recalls, because a missing declaration can trigger a reaction in someone who reads the label and believes the product is safe.

The product reached multiple states, recorded by the FDA as "Products are mostly distributed to stores in NY, CA, NJ, MD . Products were exclusively distributed to H mart stores. Rice Pop Snack is private brand for H Mart." A multi-state footprint means the same lot can surface in households far from the producer. The recalling firm is based in Lyndhurst, NJ. The recall covers 1580 of product. The FDA has Terminated this recall (first reported Oct 11, 2017), its final lifecycle state, indicating the agency considers the corrective action resolved. The historical record remains useful for tracking a brand's recall pattern over time.
