A recall was announced recently by La Fiesta Food Products Inc. because of the unwanted presence of undeclared sulfites in its Dried Shredded Shrimp products.
The dried shrimp products are sold under the brand Mi Pueblo. The recall was announced after it was found that the labels have not been updated and did not contain sulfites as part of the ingredients.
The specifications of the recalled products are the following:

The company is currently in the process of correcting the product labels. The new labels will now be containing the precautionary note stating that the products contain sulfites, which is considered to be an allergen. La Fiesta emphasizes that the product recall is limited only to the specified UPC codes and does not affect all of its products.
People who are very sensitive to sulfites should avoid taking in products that have it as an ingredient so as to avoid allergy attacks. No related health incidences have been reported for the affected products.
Customers who bought the product are advised to return it to the store, especially if they have a known allergy to sulfites. They may also ask for a refund or call the company at 954-600-5250 (Central Standard Time) with any questions or concerns. They can ask for Catherine Milsom for assistance.
