FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE -- Brooklyn, NY -- January 2, 2007 -- Ho's Trading Inc., 1010 Dean Street, Brooklyn, NY 11238 is recalling Home Special Health Soup Recipe (Dry Mix) because it contains undeclared sulfites. People who have severe sensitivity to sulfites run the risk of serious or life-threatening reactions if they consume this product.
The recalled Home Special Health Soup Recipe (Dry Mix) is packed in a 5.3 oz. uncoded plastic container, and is the product of China. The product was sold nationwide.
The recall was initiated after routine sampling by New York State Department of Agriculture and Markets Food Inspectors and subsequent analysis of the product by Food Laboratory personnel revealed the presence of undeclared sulfites in Home Special Health Soup Recipe (Dry Mix) which did not declare sulfites on the label. The consumption of 10 milligrams or more of sulfites per serving has been reported to elicit severe reaction in some asthmatics. Anaphylactic shock could occur in certain sulfite individuals upon ingesting 10 milligrams or more of sulfites.
