Check Your Fridge: Popular Sauce Recalled Due to ‘Risk of Serious or Life-Threatening’ Reaction

Lovers of barbeque sauce should check their fridge for a product that could cause a serious reaction.

The Publix Deli Carolina-Style Mustard BBQ Sauce, manufactured by Ventura Foods, was this week subject to a voluntary recall over a labeling issue.

In a news release, the FDA announced that the product “may contain a fish (anchovy) allergen that is not declared on the label.”

“People who have an allergy or severe sensitivity to fish (anchovy) run the risk of serious or life-threatening allergic reaction if they consume these products,” the release stated.

“This recall only impacts Publix Deli Carolina-Style Mustard BBQ Sauce with the use by date of April 08, 2024.”

The sauce was sold at Publix stores in Alabama, Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee and Virginia.”

The product has also been removed from the supermarkets’ shelves. No other Ventura Foods products are affected.

“If consumers have a product affected by this recall, they are advised to discard it immediately or return the product to their local store for a full refund,” the release read.

So far there have been no reports of illness or allergic reactions.

Have you ever discovered a recalled product in your home?

According to the Food Allergy Research & Education, fish allergies can  “cause severe and potentially life-threatening allergic reactions (such as anaphylaxis).

“Allergic reactions can be unpredictable, and even very small amounts of fish can cause one,” the organization notes.

Symptoms of a fish allergy can include hives or a skin rash, nausea, indigestion, abdominal cramps, sneezing, headaches, asthma, and in some cases anaphylaxis which can be life threatening.

Food recalls are relatively common. Their frequency typically depends on various  factors, including the ongoing safety of the food supply, regulatory changes, inspection efforts, and the discovery of potential safety issues.

Last month, the FDA recalled roughly 2,000 cases of Coca-Cola products due to the risk of “potential foreign material.”

The affected cases, all 12-packs of 12-oz. aluminum cans, were sold in Alabama, Mississippi and Florida. The recall was completed successfully and no cans remained on the market.


A Note from Our Deputy Managing Editor:

 

“We don’t even know if an election will be held in 2024.” Those 12 words have been stuck in my head since I first read them. 

 

Former Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn recently made that comment to Floyd Brown, founder of The Western Journal. 

 

And if the leftists and the elites get their way, that’s exactly what will happen — no real election, no real choice for the Electoral College, and no real say for the American people. 

 

The Western Journal is fighting to keep that from happening, but we can’t do it alone.

 

We work tirelessly to expose the lying leftist media and the corrupt America-hating elites.

 

But Big Tech’s stranglehold is now so tight that without help from you, we will not be able to continue the fight. 

 

The 2024 election is literally the most important election for every living American. We have to unite and fight for our country, otherwise we will lose it. And if we lose the America we love in 2024, we’ll lose it for good. Can we count on you to help? 

 

With you we will be able to field journalists, do more investigative work, expose more corruption, and get desperately needed truth to millions of Americans. 

 

We can do this only with your help. Please don’t wait one minute. Donate right now.

 

Thank you for reading,

Josh Manning
