“Giant Eagle Market District Wasabi Soybeans Recall: Undeclared Wheat/Soy Allergens.” GovInfoNow, updated October 9, 2026. https://govinfonow.com/recall/23102-giant-eagle-market-district-wasabi-soybeans-recall-undeclared-wheat-soy.

Why it’s dangerous

Who’s affected

People with wheat or soy allergies who consume the recalled soybeans may experience allergic reactions. The product is sold in grocery stores under the Market District brand.

How to tell if you have this one

Check for Market District Wasabi Soybeans with a 6 oz net weight and Best By date of 3/6/17. The product label on the lid says 'Wasabi Soybeans' but the bottom label says 'Wasabi Peas'.
