May Flower International Inc recalled its "8.82-ounce/250g packages of Beijing Soybean Paste food treats" on April 11 due to the undeclared presence of a common allergen.
According to the United States Food & Drug Administration, the recalled product, distributed to retail stores nationwide (including locations in Pennsylvania) was mislabeled and does not include an ingredient callout for wheat which poses the risk of a "serious or life-threatening allergic reaction" to individuals allergic to the ingredients not listed on the faulty labels.
