Allergy Alert: Patak's Cooking Sauce

On September 4th, FDA advised consumers that ACH Food Companies, Inc. (Memphis, TN) was recalling Patak's® Dopiaza Cooking Sauce due to the undeclared presence of butter in the product.

The recalled items were labeled as Patak's® Rich Tomato and Onion Cooking Sauce Dopiaza (Mild) and Patak's® Dopiaza Curry Cooking Sauce Mild, and carry a Best By date of "on or before February 2010."

The undeclared butter was added to the products as a result of a co-packer error. The correct product formulations do not contain butter.

While no illness reports have been received, individuals who are allergic to dairy products may suffer a severe – possibly life-threatening – allergic reaction after consuming these products. Consumers who purchased one of the recalled items are encouraged to return it to the store for a full refund, or to contact ACH toll-free at 800-726-3648 to receive a coupon.
