Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Approximately 432 cases (5,184 individual packages) of Shirakiku Korean Seasoned Seaweed are being recalled because the outer packaging incorrectly labels the contents and fails to declare sesame as an ingredient. The recalled product was distributed in California, Arizona, Texas, New Mexico, Washington, New York, and Nevada. No incidents or injuries have been reported to date. Consumers should return the product to the place of purchase for a refund or dispose of it immediately.

Risk

The product contains sesame oil which is not listed on the outer packaging ingredients. People who have an allergy or severe sensitivity to sesame run the risk of a serious or life-threatening allergic reaction if they consume this product.

What You Should Do

  2. Check the back display of your seaweed packaging; the recalled items incorrectly list only 'Organic Seaweed' as the ingredient, whereas the correct seasoned product contains corn oil, sesame oil, and salt.
  3. Identify the product using the UPC codes 074410495534 (incorrect label) or 074410516031 (correct product ID) and ITEM numbers 49549B or 51603.
