Roots Organic Gourmet recalls gluten-free vegan hummus products due to missing 'Contains Soy' label on packaging, potentially causing allergic reactions for soy-sensitive consumers.
Although ingredient statement lists "Tamari," Label lacks statement, "Contains Soy."
Roots Organic Gourmet is recalling two sizes of their gluten-free vegan hummus products because the packaging does not clearly state that they contain soy. This could affect people with soy allergies who might not be aware of the ingredient and risk an allergic reaction.
The hummus products are labeled as containing 'Tamari' but lack a statement indicating they contain soy. This omission could lead to soy-allergic individuals consuming products they should avoid, potentially causing allergic reactions.
People who have purchased Roots Organic Gourmet's gluten-free vegan hummus products with the specified UPC codes are affected. Those with soy allergies are at the highest risk of potential allergic reactions.
Check for the product names 'Roots, Original Hummus' in 8oz or 16oz tubs with UPC codes 860971000009 or 723175787629. The packaging should have a 'Best By' date of 08/25/14 or earlier.
Look for the UPC codes 860971000009 or 723175787629 on the packaging to confirm if the product is recalled.
The product is being recalled because the packaging does not clearly state that it contains soy, even though it lists 'Tamari' as an ingredient.
No, the recall is for labeling purposes only and does not require stopping use; however, soy-allergic individuals should avoid it.
The official recall notice does not specify a remedy, so you can safely continue using it if you are not allergic to soy.
