Undeclared Sulfites: A Serious Concern for Allergy Sufferers
Sulfites are preservatives commonly used in food production. While safe for most people, they can cause allergic reactions in sensitive individuals. These reactions can range from mild symptoms to severe, life-threatening anaphylaxis. For those with sulfite allergies, it is crucial to avoid foods that contain undeclared sulfites. Deep Foods Inc. understands the seriousness of this issue and is working diligently to remove the affected product from store shelves.
The recall was prompted by routine sampling conducted by the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services. Subsequent laboratory analysis revealed the presence of sulfites in the 7 oz. package of Deep Golden Raisins, which were not declared on the product label. Deep Foods Inc. has extended the recall to include the 14 oz. and 28 oz. sizes as they contain the same raisins.
