Hikari Enjuku Koji Miso Mutenka recall
Recalled by Hikari Miso International, Inc. · Torrance, CA, United States
Class III — Low risk. Unlikely to cause harm, but violates FDA regulations.
Why it was recalled
Miso product manufactured in Japan was distributed in US with no English labeling and therefore soy beans not properly declared on label as an allergen.
Undeclared allergen: Soy
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.

FDA's distribution note: One distributor in CA only
Low risk, but check. Class III means the product is unlikely to make anyone ill but breaks an FDA rule, often a labeling one. If your package matches, the store will normally refund it. The risk from an undeclared allergen is to people allergic to soy; 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.
