Trong Foods Recalls Madras Curry Powder For Undeclared Peanuts
Santa Ana, California-based Trong Foods International is recalling Madras Curry Powder as they may contain undeclared peanuts, a known allergen, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration said.
The recall involves 4 ounce bottles, 16 ounce bottles, and 4 ounce bags of “Madras Curry Powder” (CA RI NI AN DO “KIM TU THAP”).
The 4 ounce bottle bears UPC code 3960600152, the 16 ounce bottle UPC Code 3960600154, and the 4 ounce bag UPC Code 3960600154. All three packages subject to the recall are labeled BEST BY 05052026TF.
The recalled items were distributed within New York State in retail stores and through mail orders and possibly in Maryland, New Jersey, and California.
The recall was initiated after routine sampling by New York State Department of Agriculture and Markets Food Inspectors and subsequent analysis by Food Laboratory personnel revealed the peanut-containing product was distributed in packages that did not reveal the presence of peanuts.
People who have allergies to peanuts may get serious or life-threatening allergic reaction if they consume these products.
However, the company has not received any reports of illnesses related to the recalled items to date.
Consumers who have purchased the affected products are urged to return them to the place of purchase for a full refund.
