Summary

JMH International, LLC is recalling 10,637 units of various Chef Myron's brand sauces because they contain fermented soy sauce made with wheat that was not properly processed to remove gluten. The products were labeled as 'gluten-free,' but the wheat ingredient was not disclosed, posing a risk to individuals with wheat allergies or gluten sensitivities. These sauces were distributed nationwide in various sizes, including 64-fluid ounce bottles, 1-gallon bottles, and 5-gallon pails. Consumers should return these products to the place of purchase for a full refund or dispose of them immediately.

Risk

The product contains wheat and gluten that are not declared on the label.
