Canada recalls Huipu-brand sweet potatoes

The Canadian Food Inspection Agency announced the recall of Huipu-brand dried sweet potatoes because they might contain undeclared sulfites.

The agency and Uncle T Foods Ltd. of Richmond, British Columbia said the Dried Pachyrhizus, which was imported from China, was known to have been distributed in British Columbia, Alberta and Ontario, but also might have been distributed nationally.

Officials said consumption of the recalled dried sweet potatoes might cause a serious or life-threatening reaction in people with sensitivity to sulfites.
