Allergy Alert: Mut Gung Sweetened Ginger

K-Fat Inc. has recalled 150-gram clear plastic containers of Mut Gung Sweetened Ginger, due to the presence of undeclared sulfites. The recalled item was sold nationally through retail stores and by mail order.

The recall was initiated after the New York Department of Agriculture and Markets detected sulfites at a level of 94.5 mg per serving. Sulfites can cause serious – even life-threatening –allergic reactions in sensitive individuals, especially those who suffer from asthma.

Consumers who purchased the recalled product can return it to retailer for a full refund.
