Bloody Mary Mix Recalled Due to Missing Allergens Contained in the Worcestershire Powder

Jimbo’s Kitchen, DBA New England Cupboard is recalling Jimbo’s Bloody Mary Mix because it contains undeclared soy, wheat and sulfites.  On the back label of the finished product, the ingredients list for Worcestershire Powder did not have all the sub-ingredients listed (e.g., corn syrup solids, salt, caramel color, garlic, sugar, spices, soy sauce solids (naturally fermented wheat and soybeans, salt, maltodextrin, caramel color), palm oil, tamarind, natural flavors, sulfiting agents).

How many times has Worcestershire Sauce (in this case powder) led to an allergen recall because somebody does not call out the allergens included in that ingredient.  In this particular Worcestershire ingredient, there is no fish (anchovies), however, there is soy, wheat, and sulfites.
