COURTESY HAWAII DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH
Niitakaya USA, Inc. has recalled its Shiso Katsuo Ninniku and Miso Katsuo Ninniku pickled garlic products with all “Best By” dates because the label does not declare that the products may contain the allergen bonito.
Hawaii Department of Health officials recently announced that pickled garlic products sold at Ala Moana Center and University Nijiya Market locations have been recalled due to an undeclared fish allergen.
Niitakaya USA, Inc. has recalled its Shiso Katsuo Ninniku and Miso Katsuo Ninniku pickled garlic products with all “Best By” dates because the label does not declare that the products may contain the allergen bonito.
JFC International distributed the 5.2-ounce product that comes in a clear plastic package with the Niitakaya logo at the top. Niitakaya has suspended further distribution of the recalled product.
