Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

J-Basket Premium Korean Seaweed Snack (Wasabi flavor) is being recalled because 451 boxes were incorrectly packaged in 'Original' flavor wraps. This error means the product contains the food dyes FD&C Yellow No. 5 and FD&C Blue No. 1, which are not listed on the 'Original' flavor label. The affected products were distributed in 14 states including California, Texas, and Illinois, and feature 'Best Before' dates of 01.03.2022 and 01.10.2022. Consumers who purchased this seaweed snack should return it to the place of purchase for a full refund.

Risk

People who have a sensitivity to FD&C Yellow No. 5 or FD&C Blue No. 1 may experience allergic reactions if they consume these products. Because the dyes are not declared on the inner packaging, consumers may unknowingly ingest these additives.

What You Should Do

  1. Check your pantry for J-Basket Premium Korean Seaweed Snack. Specifically look for the Wasabi flavor outer wrap (3-packs) and check if the inner packages are incorrectly labeled as 'Original' flavor.
  2. Verify the identifying codes on the packaging: look for UPC 0 11152 29507 7 and 'Best Before' dates of 01.03.2022 or 01.10.2022, associated with JFC Item #29507.
  3. If you have a sensitivity or allergy to FD&C Yellow No. 5 or FD&C Blue No. 1, do not consume the product.
  4. Return the affected product to the store where you purchased it to receive a full refund.
  5. For further questions, contact the FDA Consumer Complaint hotline at 1-888-723-3332 (1-888-SAFEFDA) or visit www.fda.gov/safety/recalls.
