Booey's Gourmet LLC — Class II: Booey's Dragon's Breath sauce, 15.2oz ringneck glass bottle. UPC on bottle: 7 01936 29222
Booey's Gourmet LLC initiated a Class II recall for its Dragon's Breath sauce because the 'Contains' statement failed to declare fish (anchovy) and sesame, despite these items being listed in the ingredients section. The product was distributed in 15.2oz glass bottles with UPC 7 01936 29222 3.
This recall affects Booey's Gourmet LLC, food labeling compliance officers, and quality assurance personnel responsible for verifying allergen statements in condiments and sauces containing complex ingredients like squid sauce or flavored oils.
This enforcement action highlights a common technical oversight in food labeling: the failure to align the specific 'Contains' summary statement with the comprehensive ingredient list. While the source does not detail specific adverse events, Class II recalls generally signify that the product may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences. This suggests a need for heightened rigor in cross-referencing sub-ingredients (such as anchovy extract within squid sauce) against mandatory allergen declarations.
Regulatory and QA teams should perform a reconciliation audit to ensure that every allergen identified in the raw ingredient list is accurately reflected in the 'Contains' summary statement. Discrepancies between these two label sections, even if the ingredient is listed elsewhere on the bottle, are grounds for enforcement action.
