Kwei Chow brand Mustard Bamboo Shoots with chili in oil, net weight 7.40 Oz, sauce in glass jars, shelf stable

Kwei Chow Sauce Industry CO., LTD. recalled Kwei Chow brand Mustard Bamboo Shoots with chili in oil, net weight 7.40 Oz, sauce in glass jars, shelf stable in a Class II action, the FDA tier for products that may cause temporary or medically reversible health effects on Mar 20, 2017.

The FDA listed the reason as an undeclared allergen: "Products contain undeclared 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.

Distribution was limited; the FDA record lists "Product was distributed to at least three distributors in the US." Single-area recalls still warrant a kitchen check for anyone who shops within that footprint. The recalling firm is based in New Taipei City, N/A. The recall covers 6150 jars of product. The FDA has Terminated this recall (first reported Apr 12, 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.
