Irvin warns of sulfites in dried kudzu
Georgia Department of Agriculture Commissioner Tommy Irvin today warned consumers that a New York company has recalled “King Chief Brand Dried Kudzu”, a product of China, because it contains sulfites.
People who have a severe sensitivity to sulfites run the risk of serious life-threatening reactions if they consume this product.
Domega International Ltd., Inc., of Brooklyn, NY, sold the dried kudzu in uncoded, 6 oz. plastic packages nationwide.
The recall was initiated after routine sampling by the New York State Department of Agriculture and Market Food Inspectors and analysis by the department’s food laboratory.
Consumers who have purchased the product should return it to the place of purchase. Consumers with questions may contact the company at 1-646-938-7345.
