KHONG GUAN (HQ) — Class I: Glutinous Rice Balls with Black Sesame Filling NET WT. 14.1 OZ (400 g) Product of China UP
KHONG GUAN (HQ) has initiated a Class I recall for its 'Glutinous Rice Balls with Black Sesame Filling' (400g) due to the presence of undeclared peanuts. The product, manufactured in China, was distributed with UPC 6908791000053 and the recall is currently classified as ongoing.
This recall affects KHONG GUAN (HQ), food importers, retailers distributing Chinese-origin frozen confectionery, and quality management teams responsible for allergen control programs.
A Class I classification signifies that the FDA considers this a situation with a reasonable probability that exposure will cause serious adverse health consequences or death. This suggests a significant failure in the firm's allergen control or labeling verification processes, particularly regarding imported goods. The ongoing status indicates that recovery of the product and root cause analysis are likely still in progress, which may lead to further scrutiny of the firm's broader product portfolio.
QA and Labeling teams should immediately verify that all black sesame-based products undergo allergen testing for peanut cross-contamination. Supply chain departments should audit international suppliers for allergen control documentation, specifically for products manufactured in China. Regulatory teams must ensure that current UPC-level labeling reflects all potential allergens present in the facility to prevent further mislabeling events.
