T.W. Garner Food Company has recalled Texas Pete Habanero Buffalo Sauce and Texas Pete Sweet CHAbanero Sauce in 10 states due to labeling issues. Inspectors found that some Habanero Buffalo products contained sriracha sauce, which includes sulfites not mentioned on the label, posing a risk for allergic reactions. Additionally, certain Sweet CHAbanero Sauce bottles lacked the declared ingredient aged peppers. Although no illnesses have yet been reported, the FDA recall notice emphasizes the potential risks, highlighting the importance of consumer awareness concerning the best-by dates and product features during this recall.
"People who have an allergy or severe sensitivity to sulfites run the risk of serious or life-threatening allergic reaction if they consume these products," the T.W. Garner Foods Company said in its notice.
"Upon review of the two labels, it was determined that the Habanero Buffalo Sauce may contain undeclared sulfites, since the sriracha sauce contains sodium bisulfite as a preservative."
The company said inspectors discovered that some bottles of the Habanero Buffalo might instead contain a sriracha pepper sauce - which contains sulfites not disclosed on the Habanero Buffalo label.
No illnesses have been reported to date, the company said.
