Recalled hot sauce products have risk of ‘life-threatening allergic reaction,’ CDC warns

Here’s some not-so-hot news for hot sauce fans.

The Food and Drug Administration announced a voluntary recall Tuesday for hot sauce products from Vesta Fiery Gourmet Foods, Inc., Raleigh, North Carolina, because of “undeclared wheat.”

On January 4, the North Carolina Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services notified the company that the label did not state the flour used was wheat flour.

Although no illnesses have been reported so far, “people with severe allergies or sensitivities to wheat are at risk of serious or life-threatening allergic reactions if they consume this product,” the company’s announcement read.

Vesta Fiery Gourmet Foods has been voluntarily removed by the FDA for failing to disclose that their products contain wheat, which is a common allergen for the public and should be disclosed
