3 Food Recalls You Need To Know About This Week

From frozen veggie fries to hot sauce, this week’s roundup of recalled items may be in your home. Read on to learn why they’re being pulled from store shelves and what to do if you’ve already purchased them.

Veggie Fries Recalled in 15 States for Undeclared Allergen

On April 1, Dr. Praeger’s Sensible Foods Inc. voluntarily recalled over 8,600 cases of its California Veggie Fries for not disclosing that it contained soy on its packaging. Soy is one of the nine most common food allergens in the United States. Consuming this item could lead to severe allergic reactions, such as anaphylaxis. 

The U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA) classified it as a Class II recall on April 7, meaning the likelihood of experiencing adverse health effects is low.

Buffalo Wing Sauce Pulled From Shelves for Undisclosed Allergen 

Old World Spices & Seasoning, Inc. voluntarily recalled more than 8,500 bottles of Lillie’s Q Buffalo Wing Sauce for neglecting to declare that it contains milk in two places on its packaging (as a sub-ingredient of butter or in the “Contains” statement). The recall, initiated on March 25, is ongoing. On April 9, the FDA classified it as a Class II recall, meaning the health risks are low and may cause temporary or reversible effects for those with a milk allergy.
