A company has recalled 50,000-plus bottles of its Texas Pete Buffalo Wing Sauce over concerns that they may contain an allergen.
T.W. Garner Food Company’s “Texas Pete Buffalo Wing Sauce” acknowledged a packaging issue and voluntarily recalled the selection, the company said on the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA) website.
The recalled bottles may actually contain another product, the Texas Pete Extra Mild Wing Sauce, which is a product that contains soy.
The recall was prompted after a customer complained, IBTimes reported.
“The bottle of Texas Pete Buffalo Wing Sauce was missing the allergen declaration of soy,” the company noted. “Investigation indicates the problem was caused by applying the wrong label during a portion of the production run.”
Soy is one of the nine major allergens required to be listed on a product’s label due to allergic reactions that can range from mild to severe.
“People who have an allergy or severe sensitivity to soy run the risk of a serious or life-threatening allergic reaction if they consume this product,” the company added.
So far, there have been no reports of illnesses after the mishaps.
Customers should know that the recall is for the 12-oz glass bottles of Texas Pete Buffalo Wing Sauce with the UPC no. 075500 10011 6 and “best used by” code 120623T 065239.
The recalled products were distributed in 13 states, including Alabama, Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, New York, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, and Virginia.
Customers who are allergic or sensitive to soy shouldn’t consume the recalled product, the company added. Affected customers are asked to dispose of or return the bottle for a refund.
