Food Safety Alert: Incomplete Allergen Information Detected
On August 20, 2025, a significant food safety incident was reported concerning a recall of rice balls containing chicken and burdock white rice. This incident originated in Japan and has raised concerns regarding allergen information provided to consumers.
The primary issue identified in this incident is the incomplete or inaccurate allergen information associated with the product.
