People who have an allergy or severe sensitivity to Fish (anchovies) run the risk of serious or life-threatening allergic reaction if they consume these products.

Product Identification: Product comes in 14 ounces (397 grams) plastic white rectangular tray with skin vacuum seal and is kept refrigerated. Best If Used By/Freeze By: 9/15/2020 and prior.

The allergy alert was initiated after it was discovered that the Ancient Grain Jackfruit Bowl containing Fish (anchovies) was distributed in packaging that did not reveal the presence of Fish (anchovies).
