Did you know that food recalls in the United States are on the rise? In fact, the number of allergen-related recalls has jumped significantly over recent years. Nobody wants to find out their dinner choice poses a risk. You need to know if your pantry staples are safe. Here's the latest product recall in the United States affecting American shoppers.

CNC Noodle Corporation Recalls Fresh Noodles Due to Undeclared Allergens

CNC Noodle Corporation has announced a voluntary recall of its China Noodle Co. Fresh Noodles. This recall is due to undeclared wheat and Yellow #6. If you have allergies, this is a serious concern. The company distributes these noodles in California and Nevada.

What's Wrong With the Noodles?

The problem? The secondary packaging of the ZHONG HUA CHAO MIAN NOODLE INGREDIENTS doesn't properly declare the presence of wheat and Yellow #6. These are common allergens. People with sensitivities should avoid these noodles.

YELLOW COLOR #5 & #5 (TARTRAZINE) ARTIFICIAL COLORS.

The primary packaging is labeled as CHINA NOODLE CO. FRESH NOODLE NET WEIGHT 10 LBS. (4536 grams). The listed ingredients are: ENRICHED WHEAT FLOUR (BLEACHED WHEAT FLOUR, NIACIN, IRON, ASCORBIC ACID, THIAMIN MONONITRATE, RIBOFLAVIN), WATER, SALT, SODIUM BI-CARBONATE, 1/1000 BENZOATE OF SODA, DUSTED WITH CORN STARCH, ADDED AS A PRESERVATIVE, F.D. & C.

The probability of serious adverse health consequences is remote. While it's not the most severe type of recall, it's still important to take it seriously, particularly if you know you have wheat or Yellow #6 sensitivities. If you're not sure, err on the side of caution. This affects up to 310 cases of the CNC Noodle Corporation product. They’re distributed across the U.S., specifically in CA and NV.
