Masago Lake Smelt Roe 6 oz. UPC Code:4866010101

Ocean Group INC. recalled Masago Lake Smelt Roe in a Class I action — the FDA's most serious tier, reserved for products with a reasonable probability of causing serious health consequences or death on Dec 16, 2015.

The FDA listed the reason as an undeclared allergen: "Product contains undeclared soy and wheat." 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 "U.S. distribution in CA only (Los Angeles and San Diego). No foreign distribution." A multi-state footprint means the same lot can surface in households far from the producer. The recalling firm is based in Los Angeles, CA. The recall covers 504 Packages of product. The FDA has Terminated this recall (first reported Feb 10, 2016), 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.
