FDA Recall Alert: Fu Zhou Fish Balls Pulled for Undeclared Wheat & Sesame
Updated Jan 29 2026
Koikoi Trading Inc. has voluntarily recalled its Fu Zhou Fish Ball line nationwide after the company learned that wheat and sesame allergens were not disclosed on the label. People with either allergy should avoid the product and follow the guidance below.
Recall Reason: Undeclared Wheat & Sesame Allergens
Failure to list wheat and sesame in the ingredient and allergen statements violates FDA labeling rules and poses a serious health risk. While no illnesses have been reported, ingesting the fish balls could cause hives, gastrointestinal distress, or even anaphylaxis in sensitive individuals.
