Georgia Ag Chief Warns Consumers About Possible Sulfites in Dried Fruit
ATLANTA Blooming Import, Inc., Brooklyn, New York has recalled Golden Lion Brand Dried Ziziphus Jujuba Mill because it may contain sulfites not listed on the label, according to Georgia Commissioner of Agriculture Tommy Irvin.
People who have an allergy or sensitivity to sulfites run the risk of serious lifethreatening allergic reaction if they consume the dried fruit.
"Consumers who have purchased the dried fruit in uncoded, 12-ounce, heat-sealed plastic bags should return it to the place of purchase for a full refund," Commissioner Irvin said.
The product was shipped nationwide. Consumers with questions may contact Moon Kee Lee at 718-625-6868.
Zizuphus jububa Mill. is the botanical name of a tree commonly known as "jujube," "Chinese date" and "tsao."
