Why it’s dangerous
The product contains Thai Sweet Chili Sauce but is labeled as Spicy Mayonnaise Sauce. This creates a hazard for individuals who believe they are buying mayonnaise-based sauce, potentially leading to allergic reactions if they have sensitivities to mayonnaise ingredients like eggs or dairy that might be present in the actual spicy sauce formulation or cross-contamination risks not addressed by the label.
Who’s affected
Consumers in New York who purchased 1.5 oz cups of Thai Sweet Chili Sauce between the production dates listed are affected. Individuals with allergies to mayonnaise or its ingredients are at risk of accidental exposure due to the mislabeling.
How to tell if you have this one
Check for 1.5 oz cups with a seal on the label reading 'Thai Sweet Chili Sauce' but containing ingredients listed as Thai Sweet Chili Sauce (Sugar, Water, Pickled Red Chili, Vinegar, Garlic, Salt, Xanthan Gum). Look for the UPC 7-66630 98023 and best-by codes BB 07/04/18 or BB 07/05/18. The product was distributed in New York.
