Domega International Ltd., Inc. Issues Alert on Undeclared Sulfites In KORICA Brand Dried Plum (Feb. 4)
Sat, 9 Feb 2008 10:51:00 -0600

The recall was initiated after routine sampling by New York State Department of Agriculture and Markets Food inspectors and subsequent analysis by Food Laboratory personnel revealed the presence of sulfites in KORICA BRAND DRIED PLUM which did not declare sulfites on the labels. The consumption of 10 milligrams of sulfites per serving has been reported to illicit severe reactions in some asthmatics. Anaphylactic shock could occur in certain sulfite sensitive individuals upon ingesting 10 milligrams or more of sulfites.
