Reason for recall
The incorrect spice packet was included in the product package. The spice mix contains oyster sauce which is listed in ingredient or allergen statement.
Food allergen labelling is required by US law for the nine major allergens. A product recalled for an undeclared allergen is only a risk to people with that allergy; everyone else can consume it safely.
