Liaoning Cheng Da USA Inc. has issued a recall for its Wangzhihe hot pot sauce, prompting a warning to California consumers on Tuesday. The recall stems from concerns that the product may contain undeclared allergens, including peanuts, soy, sesame, and wheat.
Why This Recall Matters
Millions of Americans suffer from food allergies, some of which can trigger severe or life-threatening reactions. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) classifies nine major allergens, including peanuts, wheat, soy, and sesame—all of which may be present in the recalled sauce but were not listed on the packaging.
Consumers with allergies to these ingredients could experience serious health risks if they consume the affected product.
Recall Details
The FDA alert states that the recall was initiated when the manufacturer discovered that certain batches of the Wangzhihe hot pot sauce were distributed without a proper allergen label.
The recalled product is packaged in a 5.64-ounce plastic container and was distributed in California retail stores, including:
- Hawaii Supermarket
- Great Wall Supermarket
- 99 Ranch Market
Affected lot numbers found on the back of the product include:
- 2023/12/20
- 2024/1/31
- 2024/4/15
- 2024/10/18
The UPC numbers on the front of the packaging are 6907592001375 and 6907592001382.
As of Tuesday, no illnesses have been reported in connection with the recall, according to the FDA.
Understanding the Risks
The FDA warns that allergic reactions to food can appear within minutes to a few hours after exposure. Symptoms may include:
- Hives, rashes, or flushed skin
- Swelling of the face, lips, tongue, or throat
- Vomiting, diarrhea, or abdominal cramps
- Wheezing, coughing, or difficulty breathing
- Dizziness, lightheadedness, or loss of consciousness
In severe cases, allergic reactions can lead to anaphylaxis, a life-threatening condition that requires immediate medical attention.
Next Steps for Consumers
Customers who purchased the recalled Wangzhihe hot pot sauce are urged to return it to the store for a refund.
