Food Recall Check
Class I · High risk Terminated Initiated Mar 10, 2016 (11 years ago)

Korea chopped Kimchee packaged in recall

Recalled by Chicago Kimchee · Franklin Park, IL, United States

Class I — High risk. Reasonable probability of serious harm or death.

Why it was recalled

Undeclared anchovies in Kimchee product.

Undeclared allergen: Fish

For someone with a food allergy the label is the only protection. An undeclared allergen can trigger a severe reaction even in a trace amount, which is why most of these recalls are Class I. All undeclared allergens recalls.

What was recalled

Korea chopped Kimchee packaged in 1 gallon, 1/2 gallon, 1/4 gallon, and 1/8 gallon packaged in glass jars inside plastic containers with multi colored label and black lettering.

Quantity: 1 gallon: 401 boxes, 4 jars/box 1/2 gallon: 167 boxes, 6 jars/box 1/4 gallon: 371 boxes, 12 jars/box 1/8 gallon: 113 boxes: 12 jars/box

Lot codes, dates and UPCs

A recall covers only these codes. Compare them with the lot number, best-by date or UPC printed on your package.

This product does not contain any codes or expiration dates.

Where it was sold

FDA's distribution note: Products were distributed to several distributors in the chicagoland area.

Do not eat it. Class I means FDA judged there is a reasonable probability of serious illness or death. If the brand, size and lot or date code on your package match, throw the product away or return it to the store for a refund, and clean any surface or container it touched. If anyone has eaten it and feels unwell, contact a doctor and mention the recall. The risk from an undeclared allergen is to people allergic to fish; for anyone else the product is generally not a safety concern. FDA lists this recall as terminated: the company has finished removing the product, so it should no longer be on shelves - but it can still be in a freezer or pantry.
