Sun Noodle Recalls S&S Frozen Cup Saimin – Noodles with Soup & Garnishes due to undeclared allergen

Sun Noodle is voluntarily recalling over 37,158 cases of their S&S CUP SAIMIN, manufactured from May 9, 2023 to May 8, 2024, because they may contain egg white powder, an undeclared allergen, according to a Department of Defense All Food and Drug Activity message sent May 17. Any product produced prior to May 9, 2023, should have already been discarded due to expiration dates.

People who have an allergy or severe sensitivity to egg, run the risk of a serious or life-threatening allergic reaction if they consume this product.

The Defense Commissary Agency (DeCA) has publicized this recall to all its stores, said Richard Stith, Chief, Public Health Division, DeCA headquarters at Fort Gregg-Adams, Virginia. Whenever a commissary has recalled or withdrawn products in its inventory, they are immediately removed from store shelves.                     

The following product is affected by this recall:

As a precautionary measure, consumers who have purchased the S&S Cup Saimin are urged to return it to the place of purchase for a full refund.
