Here’s some not-so-good news for hot sauce fans.
The Food and Drug Administration on Tuesday announced a voluntary recall of hot sauce products from Vesta Fiery Gourmet Foods, Inc., of Raleigh, North Carolina, due to “undeclared wheat.”
On January 4, the North Carolina Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services notified the company that the label does not indicate that the flour used is wheat flour.
While no illnesses have been reported to date, “people who have a severe allergy or sensitivity to wheat are at risk of suffering a serious or life-threatening allergic reaction if they consume these products,” the company’s announcement reads.
