A California firm’s dried lily flowers have been recalled as a result of they might comprise undeclared sulfites, based on the U.S. Meals and Drug Administration.
The FDA and Hayward, California-based U.S. Buying and selling Co. introduced the recall of Pleasure Luck model dried lily flowers on Tuesday, March 4.
“People who have an allergy or severe sensitivity to sulfites run the risk of serious allergic reaction if they consume these products,” the FDA mentioned on its web site.
The recalled lily flowers are individually packaged in 2.5-ounce baggage and distributed to retailers nationwide.
Sulfites are chemical substances generally used as preservatives in meals and drinks to stop them from spoiling, based on the Cleveland Clinic.
“They’re often used to slow browning and discoloration (caused by bacterial growth) in food and drinks,” the Cleveland Clinic mentioned on its web site.
A sulfite “requires careful monitoring due to its potential impact on human health,” based on ScienceDirect.
The recall was initiated after the Florida Division of Agriculture and Shopper Providers collected a pattern of the lily flowers and found that sulfites have been current in packaging that didn’t reveal their presence, the FDA mentioned.
“Customers with a sulfite allergy or sensitivity who have purchased the affected product are urged not to consume the product and dispose of it or return it to their place of purchase for a full refund,” based on the FDA’s web site.
No sicknesses have been reported thus far.
Dried lily flowers are the unopened flowers of the daylily plant and are a typical ingredient in Chinese language delicacies.
Fox Information Digital reached out to the U.S. Buying and selling Co. and Florida Division of Agriculture and Shopper Providers in search of remark.
