The FDA’s alert, posted on Feb. 9, relates to batches of Thai Peanut Sauce, Panang Curry Sauce, and Spicy Red Curry Sauce made by the Delicae Gourmet LLC of Tarpon Springs, Florida. The sauces in question come in 12-oz. glass bottles packaged with a green shrink wrap around the neck. The issue with the condiments is that all three products contain undeclared shrimp. Considering shellfish is one of the most common food allergies, according to the American College of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology, eating the recalled sauces could potentially be putting you and your family at risk. “The recall was initiated after it was discovered that product containing shrimp was distributed in packaging that did not reveal the presence of the shrimp,” says the FDA notice. While no illnesses have been reported to date, the error—which was caused by a breakdown in the company’s production and packaging processes—means that a risk remains to anyone who is allergic to shellfish and consumes the sauce unwittingly. Nearly seven million Americans are allergic to shellfish, the American College of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology reports. Within the crustacean group, it’s shrimp, lobster, and crab that most commonly cause an allergic reaction, with symptoms including vomiting, stomach cramps, difficulty breathing, tightness in the throat, hives, swelling of the tongue and /or lips, dizziness, and confusion, among others. The affected Delicae Gourmet products have the following UPC codes on the bottles: the Thai Peanut Sauce contains UPC code #643558406919, the Panang Curry contains UPC code #643558406711, and the Spicy Red Curry Sauce contains UPC code #643558406810. The sauces have various best by dates running from Mar. 1, 2021 to Nov. 8, 2023, but for the full list of batch numbers, check the FDA website. The sauces in question were distributed to retail stores in the following areas: Springfield, Missouri; Crystal Lake, Illinois; Long Grove, Illinois; Palisade, Colorado; Colorado Springs, Colorado; Long Lake, New York; Sheridan, Wyoming; Venice, Florida; Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania; and Nassawadox, Virginia.
