If you are allergic to fish—or preparing food for someone who is—check the product sleeve. When the UPC and any of the above lot codes match, follow these steps:

Do not eat the product.
Seal it in a plastic bag and discard it, or return it to the retail store for a full refund.
Contact Azuma Foods with questions at (510) 782-1112 ext 1, 8:30 AM–5:30 PM PST.

How the labeling error occurred

Azuma Foods discovered that its ingredient supplier swapped out a shellfish-based extract for bonito extract—introducing a federally regulated fish allergen. Because the formulation change was not communicated in advance, finished product labels lacked the required “Contains: Fish (bonito)” statement, prompting the voluntary recall.
