Plain-language summary

by FoodRecallsDB.info

What happened

J-Basket Premium Korean Seaweed Snack with wasabi flavor was accidentally packaged in containers labeled as Original flavor. The Original flavor packaging doesn't list two food dyes (FD&C Yellow #5 and FD&C Blue No 1) that are actually present in the wasabi flavor product.

Who is at risk

People with allergies or sensitivities to food dyes, mustard, or sesame should be concerned since the package labeling doesn't match what's inside.

What to do

If you purchased this product, check if you have the wasabi-flavored snack in an Original flavor package (UPC 0 11152 29507 7). If so, do not consume it if you have allergies to the ingredients listed, and contact the store where you bought it for a refund or replacement.
