Noodle packages sold nationwide have been recalled over fears that the products may cause life-threatening reactions in those with peanut allergies.
Fly By Jing announced Tuesday that it was recalling its Creamy Sesame Noodles because the products may have been exposed to cross-contact from peanuts.
While peanuts are not supposed to be an ingredient in the Sesame Noodles, the company found that a third-party manufacturer had made the products on equipment that also processes peanuts.
The noodles were sold in single packs and four-packs at Whole Foods, the online membership-based Thrive Market, and on Fly By Jing’s website.
Peanuts are one of the top nine food allergens in the U.S. Food allergies and other food hypersensitivities affect millions of Americans, according to the Food and Drug Administration.
Allergic reactions can be mild, such as hives or lip swelling, but they can also be severe, which “may involve fatal respiratory problems and shock,” according to the agency.
Fly By Jing has stopped distributing the affected noodles and notified customers and retailers of the recall. The remaining noodles inventory has been put on hold, according to the company.
The company said in its recall notice that it has also “strengthened allergen-control procedures with the third-party manufacturer.”
The Independent has reached out to Fly By Jing for comment.
Consumers should be on the lookout for Fly By Jing Creamy Sesame Noodles with best by dates of October 15, 2026, December 6, 2026, and March 23, 2027. The recalled products were sold from February 1 to May 8.
Those who bought the recalled products are encouraged to return them for a full refund, the company said.
Earlier this month, the Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service issued a public health alert for Giovanni Rana ravioli that had undeclared allergens.
The “Rustic Beef Sauce & Creamy Burrata Cheese Ravioli” may contain shrimp filling in lobster sauce, posing a risk to those with a shellfish allergy, federal regulators warned.
