Grocery store chain recalls seafood that may contain ‘life threatening’ allergen
California based Santa Monica Seafood has voluntarily recalled Atlantic Salmon Portions with Seafood Stuffing because it may contain undeclared soy, according to a recent release from the company.
“People who have an allergy or severe sensitivity to soy risk a serious or life-threatening allergic reaction if they consume this product,” the release reads.
The products were distributed at Aldi Stores in California, Nevada, and Arizona.
No illnesses linked to the allergen have been reported to date, the release says.
The company advised shoppers to look on the white portion of the label located on the front of the package for the product date code.
If it says to use or freeze by June 2, the release urged buyers to return the product to the store for a full refund.
“The supplier identified the problem during a routine inspection of label proofs from a completed production batch,” the release reads.
“This recall was initiated because the product contains soy, a known allergen, but the packaging does not list it as an ingredient. This labeling error means that individuals with a soy allergy may unknowingly consume the product.”
For questions, shoppers can contact Santa Monica Seafood at 1-800-969-8862, Monday through Friday, from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. PST, the release says.
