California Company Recalls Octopus Product Over Undeclared Fish Allergen

A food manufacturer based in Hayward, California has announced a voluntary recall of its seasoned octopus products due to concerns about undeclared fish allergens.

Azuma Foods International Inc., U.S.A. is pulling 545 cases of its Tako Wasabi product from retail locations. The recalled items are sold as 3-packs containing 5.3-ounce packages of Azuma Foods Brand Tako Wasabi- Seasoned Octopus with Wasabi.

The company issued the recall after discovering the products may contain fish ingredients that are not listed on the packaging labels. This poses a potential health hazard for consumers who have fish allergies or severe sensitivities, as they could experience serious allergic reactions.
