Consumers with peanut allergies will want to avoid a certain brand of breaded calamari rings that are being recalled because of the allergen risk.
King & Prince Seafood of Brunswick, Ga., is recalling its Breaded Calamari Rings because the soy flour could have been contaminated during the manufacturing process. Because peanuts are not listed as an ingredient, eating the food could cause a severe allergic reaction, including death, among peanut allergen sufferers.
The food affected by the recall includes:
Mrs. Friday's Breaded Calamari Rings, 4/2.5#, UPC code 10041338578028
Mrs. Friday's Italian Calamari Rings, 4/2.5#, UPC code 10041338578004
Mrs. Friday Breaded Italian Calamari Rings, 6/2#, UPC code 10070017412100
"The product comes in 10-pound boxes as marked with the product numbers 057802 and 057800, and also in 12-pound boxes marked with the product number 041210. Date codes involved would be all date codes in inventory," according to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration .
