Ocinet, Inc., of Downey, California, is recalling all "…And Kimchi" branded sliced kimchi, UPC 8541200408, UPC 8541200409, and UPC 8541200411 (the "Product") because the Product contains undeclared fish (anchovies). People who have an allergy or severe sensitivity to fish run the risk of a serious or life-threatening allergic reaction if they consume this Product.
The recalled Product was distributed to six retail locations:
The Product is sold in a 126 oz (3.57 kilogram) clear plastic jar, a 63 oz (1.78 kilogram) clear plastic jar, and a 30 oz (850 gram) clear plastic jar, all marked with the "… And Kimchi" logo in red font. The UPC numbers are 8541200408 (126 oz jar), 8651200409 (63 oz jar), and 8541200411 (30 oz jar). Product images for the 126 oz jar are below.
No illnesses have been reported to date.
The recall was initiated after it was discovered that the Product was distributed in packaging that did not reveal the presence of fish. Distribution of the Product has been suspended until the company is certain that the problem has been corrected.
Consumers who have purchased this Product and have concerns about the inclusion of the allergen are welcome to return the Product to the retail store where any such Product was purchased for a full refund.
