What’s the problem?
May 23, 2012 - The U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA) issued a press release [1] today announcing that L.A. LINK (HUNTINGTON BEACH) CORPORATION is recalling the following items out of an abundance of caution:
- Shiitake-Ya Brand Gourmet Shiitake Slices - ‘SELL BY date’ of 04/16/2013
These mushrooms are packaged in 6 oz. plastic jars, with the SELL BY date located at the bottom portion of the rear label.
This recall was initiated after a routine sample gathered by the FDA was determined to be contaminated with carbendazim, fluoranthene, and pyrene. The manufacturer has decided to recall the mushrooms in question to assure the safety of their customers.
Consumers who have any of the above-listed mushrooms in their possession should discard them immediately or return them to the place of purchase for a full refund.
