FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE -- Long Island City, NY -- September 10, 2007 --
Strong America Ltd. of Long Island City, NY is recalling Chinese
Wolfberry, because it may contain undeclared sulfites. People who have a
severe sensitivity to sulfites run the risk of serious or
life-threatening reactions if they consume this product.
The recalled Great Wall brand Chinese Wolfberry is packed in uncoded 7oz
packages and were sold in GA, NY, and TN.
No illnesses have been reported to date.
The recall was initiated after routine sampling by the New York State
Department of Agriculture and Markets Food Inspectors and subsequent
analysis by the Department's Food Laboratory personnel revealed the
presence of sulfites in the product, which were not declared on the
label. The consumption of 10 milligrams of sulfites per serving has been
reported to elicit severe reactions in some asthmatics; Anaphylactic
shock could occur in certain sulfites sensitive individuals upon
ingesting 10 milligrams or more of sulfites. Analysis of the Chinese
Wolfberry revealed that it contained 12.87 milligrams per serving.
