Shall we learn more about this?

What Happened?

Shang Hao Jia, Inc., based in South El Monte, California, has issued a recall of 50 cases of Danshi brand Spicy Shredded Tofu. The recall was triggered by an FDA inspection of the product’s foreign manufacturer, which revealed that sesame—a major allergen—was present but not declared on the product label.

So far, no adverse reactions have been reported, but the risks remain serious for sesame-allergic individuals. The recalled tofu comes in 200g plastic containers and was distributed directly to supermarkets in California.

Danshi	Spicy Shredded Tofu	200g	6942849709499	05/24/2025	Undeclared sesame

What Caused the Issue?

The issue stemmed from a labeling failure at the foreign manufacturing site. During a routine FDA inspection, it was discovered that sesame was used in the product formulation but never listed on the label—a clear violation of FDA allergen disclosure regulations.

As of January 2023, sesame is recognized as the 9th major allergen under the Food Allergy Safety, Treatment, Education, and Research (FASTER) Act. Its inclusion on ingredient labels is mandatory, and failure to disclose it puts sesame-allergic consumers at risk of life-threatening reactions.

Health Risks of Undeclared Sesame

Sesame allergy can cause:

Hives and rashes
Swelling of the lips, tongue, or throat
Difficulty breathing
Vomiting or diarrhea
Anaphylaxis, a potentially fatal condition requiring immediate medical attention

Who’s Most at Risk?

Children with multiple food allergies
Adults with sesame sensitivity
Immunocompromised individuals
Consumers relying on clean labeling for dietary safety

“Labeling allergens correctly isn’t just ticking a regulatory box—it’s a crucial safety measure. When something as significant as sesame is missing from the label, it’s not only a danger to allergic consumers—it undermines confidence in the entire supply chain.” said Eran Mizrahi, CEO of Source86.

Ensuring Safe Eats

Undeclared allergens like sesame don’t just threaten consumer health—they also damage brand trust, disrupt distribution, and create legal liabilities. For manufacturers and importers, it’s a stark reminder that label transparency and supply chain vigilance are non-negotiable.
