Day-Lee Foods Inc. has issued a nationwide recall for over 10,500 pounds of frozen Chicken Potsticker products over a misbranding and undeclared allergens concern. As per the establishment, the products affected by the recall contain Mandarin Orange Chicken instead of Chicken Potsticker, which is made of eggs and milk.
The misbranding issue has caused the affected potstickers to contain undeclared egg and milk allergens, which are not mentioned on the product's packaging. Announced on August 5, 2023, the nationwide recall was initiated after the establishment received complaints from a customer indicating that the products packed in the box of Chicken Potstickers contained Mandarin Orange Chicken instead.
Soon after receiving the complaint, the establishment informed the United States Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS), and a nationwide recall was initiated right after. The recalled products pose risks of severe to life-threatening allergic reactions if consumed by people with a sensitivity towards eggs and milk allergens. However, no such reports of sickness or fatalities linked to the consumption of the products have been reported yet.
Consumption of allergen-contaminated food is often linked with severe allergic reactions such as severe headaches, digestion problems, diarrhea, nausea, fever, skin infections such as rashes, and itching in the throat and mouth, among others. Individuals with severe sensitivity towards the two allergens may also end up experiencing an anaphylaxis attack and may require immediate medical support.
