What happens if something you purchase is recalled? Is it voluntary or mandatory? And what does it mean for you?
Instant noodles sold nationwide are being recalled due to possible peanut contamination.
FlyVisin announced on May 12th a recall of some Creamy Sesame Noodles. According to a Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recall report, the product may have contained peanuts, which are not listed on the noodles’ packaging. People with peanut allergies who eat the recalled noodles may be at risk of serious or life-threatening reactions.
According to the recall, Fly By Jing discovered that a third-party manufacturer was producing its products in equipment that also processes peanuts, which may have led to cross-contamination.
