Recall Details
Kedake Inc., a Houston-based company, has initiated a recall of its Las Ollas Botana Mix Snacks in 2-pound packages. The recall comes after the discovery that the product labels failed to declare several allergens, including sesame, soy, wheat, Yellow No 5, Yellow No 6, and Red No 6. This oversight poses a significant risk to individuals with allergies or sensitivities to these ingredients.
The recall was prompted by an FDA inspection that uncovered a labeling issue stemming from a production printing problem. The affected snack packages were distributed through wholesale and retail channels across Texas, but were not sold through online retailers. Consumers who have purchased these products are strongly advised to return them to the place of purchase for a full refund.
Health Implications
While no illnesses have been reported in connection with this recall, the potential health risks associated with undeclared allergens are severe. Consumers with allergies or sensitivities to sesame, soy, wheat, or the specified artificial colorings could experience serious or life-threatening allergic reactions if they consume the product unknowingly.
Kedake Inc. urges consumers who have purchased the 2-pound packages of Las Ollas Botana Mix Snacks to check their pantries and return the product to the place of purchase immediately. The company remains prepared to offer further assistance and answer any questions consumers may have regarding the recall.
The Las Ollas Botana Mix Snacks recall is part of a larger pattern of food safety alerts affecting Texas consumers. The Texas Department of State Health Services has reported numerous other recalls and alerts in recent months, ranging from potential bacterial contamination to undeclared allergens in various food products.
