Market District Wasabi Soybeans; Net Wt. 6 OZ.; Best By 3/6/17

Giant Eagle, INC. recalled Market District Wasabi Soybeans; Net Wt. 6 OZ. in a Class II action, the FDA tier for products that may cause temporary or medically reversible health effects on Sep 29, 2016.

The FDA listed the reason as an undeclared allergen: "Undeclared Wheat and Soy Allergen. Packages contained wasabi soybeans. The top label on the lid stated Wasabi Soybeans, however the ingredient label on the bottom of the container was for Wasabi Peas which does not include Wheat and Soy allergens ingredients." 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 "OH, PA, WV." A multi-state footprint means the same lot can surface in households far from the producer. The recalling firm is based in Pittsburgh, PA. The recall covers 432 units of product. The FDA has Terminated this recall (first reported Feb 15, 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.
