Black Bean Job's Tears Tea recall

Recalled by Hee Chang Dairy & Food Co., LTD · Yangsan, Korea (the Republic of)

Class II — Moderate risk. May cause temporary or reversible harm; serious harm unlikely.

Why it was recalled

During a FDA foreign inspection, it was found that four products did not declare allergens.

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.
