Melissa's Spicy Edamame recall

Recalled by World Variety Produce Inc. · Vernon, CA, United States

Class III — Low risk. Unlikely to cause harm, but violates FDA regulations.

Why it was recalled

The incorrect spice packet was included in the product package. The spice mix contains oyster sauce which is listed in ingredient or allergen statement.

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.

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. 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.
