NY Firm Recalls Bloody Mary Mix for Undeclared Allergens - Fish and Soy

Borsari Food Co of Jamestown, NY is recalling all of its Bloody Mary Mix due to undeclared allergens. People who have an allergy or severe sensitivity to fish (anchovy), or soy that are not declared on the label.  The issue was discovered in the context of a New York State Department of Agriculture inspection. Current in-house inventory, as well as future product, will clearly declare these ingredients (i.e., fish (anchovy) and soy) on the label.

Looking at the company website, the Bloody Mary Mix has these ingredients listed:
Ingredients: Tomato juice, corn syrup, non-fat milk solids, orange juice, lemon juice, lime juice, cayenne pepper, vinegar, salt, garlic powder, Worcestershire sauce, prepared horseradish, malic acid, sodium and potassium benzoate, yellow 5 & 6.

So no surprise, it was missing the allergens in the Worcestershire sauce.
