South Asian Food Inc. of Maspeth, Queens, NY is recalling its 12.34oz (350gm) packages of Bengal King Jhal Chanachur food treats because they may contain undeclared peanuts.   The recall was initiated after routine sampling by New York State Department of Agriculture and Markets Food Inspectors and subsequent analysis by Food Laboratory personnel revealed that the peanut-containing product was distributed in packages that did not reveal the presence of peanuts.

The recalled Bengal King Jhal Chanachur were distributed nationwide in retail stores and through mail orders.
