Hong Lee Trading Inc. of Brooklyn is recalling Mut Dua Non Young Coconut Candy strips because they contain undeclared sulfites. People with sensitivity to sulfites should not eat this product as they run the risk of serious or life-threatening allergic reactions if they do. At the time of the recall, the company was not aware of any adverse reactions associated with the product.
The recalled product was sold in a 10.6oz. plastic container with the UPC number: 8935054702377. The product was imported from Viet Nam and sold in the New York City area.
The recall was initiated after tests on routine samples taken by the New York State Department of Agriculture and Markets Food Inspectors were positive for sulfites which are not declared on the label. Consuming 10 milligrams of sulfites per serving has been reported to cause severe reactions including anaphylactic shock in some asthmatics.
