Food and Drug Administration recalling Terrafina golden raisins
The Food and Drug Administration is recalling Terrafina’s golden raisins due to a possibly fatal contamination.
“Sunco & Frenchie LLC of Pine Brook, New Jersey is recalling its 10-ounce Terrafina Golden Raisins because they may contain undeclared sulfites,” read the recall alert from the Food and Drug Administration. “People who have an allergy or severe sensitivity to sulfites run the risk of serious or life-threatening allergic reaction if they consume these products.
“Terrafina Golden Raisins were distributed in New York through retail stores by distributor Smith Valley Foods, LLC.”
Sulfites can be fatal to people with high sensitivity
Sulfite contamination can pose a serious health threat to anyone with sulfite sensitivity.
“Sulfites are widely used as preservative and antioxidant additives in the food and pharmaceutical industries,” read the National Library of Medicine’s entry on sulfites. “Exposure to sulfites has been reported to induce a range of adverse clinical effects in sensitive individuals, ranging from dermatitis, urticaria, flushing, hypotension, abdominal pain and diarrhea to life-threatening anaphylactic and asthmatic reactions.”
According to WebMD, sulfites can be found in a range of food, including baked goods, canned vegetables, dried fruit, potato chips and trail mix.
