If You Have This Sauce at Home, Throw It Away Now, FDA Says

GET RID OF THIS POPULAR SAUCE BEFORE YOU PUT YOUR HEALTH AT RISK.

Before you break out a package of chicken wings to grill up now that summer's almost here, check to make sure the sauce you're using with them is safe to consume first. On March 22, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced the recall of Taste of Inspirations Parmesan Garlic Wing Sauce due to an undeclared allergen. The affected products were sold at Food Lion stores in the U.S. between Feb. 20, 2021 and March 5, 2021.

The sauce subject to the recall may contain fish that's not listed on the label, thus presenting a health risk to anyone with fish allergies or sensitivities. The sauce in question can be identified by UPC number 72543999037, lot code 210305, and a best by date of March 5, 2022. If you have fish allergies, the FDA recommends that you don't consume the affected wing sauce. However, anyone with the wing sauce at home can return it to the Food Lion from which it was purchased and receive twice their purchase price as a refund, thanks to the store's "Double Your Money Back Guarantee." The Taste of Inspirations sauce joins a long list of popular foods to be pulled from the market recently; read on to discover if you should be clearing any food out of your kitchen now.

Water's generally considered to be a healthy beverage, but if you purchased yours from one company in particular, it could be putting you in harm's way. The FDA announced on March 16 that it was investigating five cases of non-viral hepatitis thought to be related to the consumption of Real Water brand alkaline water. If you have the affected water at home, the FDA is advising you "to not consume, cook with, sell or serve 'Real Water' alkaline water until more information is known about the cause of the illnesses." If you notice symptoms of hepatitis, including but not limited to loss of appetite, fever, fatigue, joint pain, yellow eyes, abdominal pain, or vomiting, and have consumed Real Water alkaline water, contact your doctor.

Communications, Albertsons Companies at [email protected] with questions or return it to the store where you purchased it for a refund.
