Flower-Brand Dried Sweet Potato Recalled
August 14, 2008
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration announced the nationwide recall of Flower-brand dried sweet potato due to a labeling error.
The FDA said the Hop Lee Trading Co. Inc. of New York is recalling the product because it contains undeclared sulfites, thereby posing a health hazard for people allergic to sulfites.
The Flower-brand dried sweet potato, a product of China, is sold in 12-ounce, uncoded, clear plastic packages and was distributed nationwide.
Consumers can return the product for a refund or contact the company at 718-821-2315 for additional information.
