Khong Guan Corporation has announced a voluntary recall of select lots of its “Glutinous Rice Balls with Black Sesame Filling” after it was discovered the product may contain peanuts that are not listed on the label.
The concern is particularly serious for anyone with a peanut allergy or a severe sensitivity to peanuts. Consuming a product with undeclared peanuts can lead to dangerous — and potentially fatal — allergic reactions.
Consumers who have purchased this product are encouraged to check the lot numbers on their packaging to determine whether their item is part of the recall. Anyone with a peanut allergy should not consume the product and should follow guidance from the issuing company or the FDA regarding returns or disposal.
