“Companion Foods Recalls Braised Bamboo Shoot Tips Due to Undeclared Wheat.” GovInfoNow, updated October 11, 2026. https://govinfonow.com/recall/22154-companion-foods-recalls-braised-bamboo-shoot-tips-due-to-undeclared. Based on FDA recall #F-1879-2017 (https://api.fda.gov/food/enforcement.json?search=recall_number:%22F-1879-2017%22&limit=1).
