Chin Jung White Kimchi - 3 lb. 8 oz (1.58 kg) plastic jars

Chin Jung Corporation recalled Chin Jung White Kimchi - 3 lb. 8 oz (1.58 kg) plastic jars in a Class II action, the FDA tier for products that may cause temporary or medically reversible health effects on Feb 16, 2024.

The FDA listed the reason as an undeclared allergen: "Undeclared allergen; fish" 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 to customers (supermarkets) in California, Colorado, Nevada." 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 1,274 jars of product. The FDA has Terminated this recall (first reported Mar 6, 2024), 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.
