CA Company Recalls Moong Dal After Mix-up of Lot Test Results

Thal Golden Spices Inc. of Hayward, CA is recalling 640 Packs of “Bikano Moong Dal 350g because it has the potential to be contaminated with Salmonella.  Moong dal is split and skinned mung beans.

Thal Golden Spices Inc recently discovered an oversight in the distribution process of one of the  products. Unfortunately, the product was released without proper lab results. This issue came to light during an FDA inspection when inspectors 'identified discrepancies in the batch numbers slated for destruction'. [The company is] actively addressing this situation to ensure compliance and rectify the error."

So it seems that due to a mix-up of batches, the company shipped product that was was supposed to be destroyed?

NY Company Recalls Chocolate Bar Because of Undeclared Nuts and Wheat

BonBon - A Swedish Candy Co. of New York, NY is recalling every Marabou Sea Salt chocolate bar, because it may contain undeclared almonds, wheat, and nuts.  The recall was initiated after it was discovered that batches of Marabou Sea Salt contained almonds, wheat and nuts outside of its allergen profile. The packaging disclosed the product contained “traces of nuts and wheat.”   But as we know, saying it contains traces of nuts and wheat is not compliant with regulation.

On May 8, 2024, BonBon was informed of the recall by our distributor, Ert Godis, and the product was removed from the sales floor and subsequently destroyed at every retail location.

NY Firm Recalls Ice Cream for Undeclared Peanut After Mocked-up Case Enters Commerce

Van Leeuwen Ice Cream of Brooklyn, NY is voluntarily recalling its Vegan Pumpkin Cinnamon Roll Lot 24V094 pints sold at the 81 Bergen Street Brooklyn, NY location. These pints contain an undeclared allergen, peanuts.  The recall was initiated after it was discovered that 8 pints containing the peanut allergen were distributed in packaging that did not reveal the presence of peanuts. 4 pints have been recovered to date, leaving 4 pints remaining out in distribution. Subsequent investigation identified the problem was caused by a mock case sample which accidentally entered the distribution channel.

So how can this happen? A likely scenario - the company had developed the new packaging for Vegan Pumpkin Cinnamon Roll and decided to fill it with whatever was running that day to see what the packaging looked like full / try out the new packaging on the filler / etc.  So the containers were filled with peanut ice cream, but it was not destroyed after the trial.  Rather, this mock case made its way to the warehouse and was subsequently distributed.
