Exposing a grave oversight in food labeling that endangers the lives of unsuspecting consumers, the FDA has issued a Class I recall of Wangzhihe Hot Pot Sauce due to undeclared allergens like peanut and soy.

This recall, voluntarily initiated by Liaoning Cheng Da USA Inc., draws attention to a distressing trend of food safety failures affecting American households.
Liaoning Cheng Da USA Inc. has recognized the severe risk posed by the hot pot sauce, voluntarily pulling 3,650 cases from the market.
The undeclared allergens—peanut, soy, sesame, and wheat—prompted a recall with guidance from the FDA.
Such ingredients can trigger life-threatening allergic reactions in susceptible individuals, pushing consumer safety to the forefront.
The absence of illness reports thus far does not lessen the seriousness of this oversight.
Consumers can identify the recalled products by the UPC numbers 6907592001375 and 6907592001382, and affected lot numbers are 2023/12/20, 2024/1/31, 2024/4/15, and 2024/10/18.
The products were sold in California at retail giants like 99 Ranch Market, Hawaii Supermarket, and Great Wall Supermarket.
Concerned customers should return the sauce to these stores for a full refund.
The company claims responsibility, stating, “The company asks customers who bought the Sauce to return it to the store for a full refund.”
The recall represents more than just a mishandling of ingredients. The larger issue at hand is a lack of transparency in the modern food industry.
Eran Mizrahi, CEO of Source86, noted, “Consumer trust is the foundation of any successful food product, and that trust depends on transparency and strict quality control.”
Such sentiments are echoed across the board, urging companies to uphold the values of accountability and honesty in their products.
Dr. Sebastian Linghvani warns of the swift and dangerous reactions these allergens can cause.
“These reactions can really start off very, very quickly and just escalate. And so you can go from zero to 60 in a very short period of time,” he said.
Such risks underline the necessity for manufacturers to vigilantly manage their labeling processes.
Consumers should monitor symptoms vigilantly and seek medical advice if exposure to these allergens is suspected.
As the recall has now covered 3,650 cases, it isn’t merely an oversight but a call to the conscience of every food producer in America.
I have asked the @FCC’s Enforcement Bureau to open an investigation into Disney & ABC.
While Disney started as an iconic American company, it recently went all in on DEI.
I am concerned that their DEI practices may violate FCC prohibitions on invidious forms of discrimination. pic.twitter.com/E31QwwFcxA
