This Week in Mislabeled Products for Week Ending August 13, 2020

Sub-Ingredients Not Listed, and Thus, Allergens Missed on Label - Serafin Fishery is recalling its 8-ounce containers of Salmon Dip and Whitefish Dip because they may contain undeclared anchovies, eggs, milk and soy.  The recall was initiated after it was discovered during an inspection conducted by the Michigan Department of Agriculture and Rural Development that the products’ labeling did not list all of the products’ ingredients. 

Wrong Chocolates in the Box - Abdallah Candies of Apple Valley, MN is voluntarily recalling a limited quantity of Lund’s and Byerly’s 16 oz. sea salt caramels with code AC31 on the bottom of the box. The boxes contain sea salt almond caramels instead of sea salt caramels.

Supplier Error on the Sauce Packet Packaging - Haven’s Kitchen, legally known as Haven’s Kitchen Home, LLC of New York, NY is voluntarily recalling one lot of Golden Turmeric Tahini sauce because it may contain Gingery Miso sauce which contains undeclared soy. The recall was initiated after it was discovered that pouches labeled Golden Turmeric Tahini were filled with another flavor of our sauce that contains soy. Our manufacturer is investigating how the error occurred and is making any necessary changes to their production and packaging processes to ensure accuracy for our products.

Wine Windows Remind Us Of The Need to Find Ways to Live with Contagious Organisms

An article in Decanter describers the return of wine windows....small windows in which drink was served to patrons during the times of the bubonic plague.  Now with COVID-19, there is a move to revive these wine windows.

Hopefully, this scourge. like the bubonic plague centuries ago, will pass.  But it is important that we learn how to live with it, because who knows whether the next contagion  will be right around the corner.  Or if it will be worse.   Hiding from it will only get us so far, but as we have seen with this virus, we can manage.  We need to accept the masks just as we accept wearing shoes or underwear.  Giving people some extra space is not a bad thing.  Minding our own health conditions with a nod towards staying home if not right is also good.   

A glass of Chianti please.
