Canada Recalls White Lotus Seed Paste Mooncake With 2 Egg Yolks Over Undeclared Peanut, Sold Online Nationwide
The Canadian Food Inspection Agency issued a food recall warning on October 16 for a White Lotus Seed Paste Mooncake with 2 Egg Yolks because it contains peanut that is not declared on the label. Chinese Canadians and other residents allergic to peanut should take particular note, as the mooncake is a food closely tied to Chinese Canadian Mid-Autumn consumption. The recall applies nationally and to online sales.
The affected product is a 600-gram package of four 150-gram cakes, with a best-before date of November 30, 2026, and UPC 4 897002 743648, with the brand field shown in Chinese characters only. The recalling firm is New Evergrow Global Trading Inc., the recall identification number is RA-82799, and the alert type is a food recall warning.
The agency said the product is being recalled from the marketplace, that it is verifying industry is removing it, and that it is conducting a food safety investigation that may lead to the recall of other products. Peanut is a priority allergen in Canada that must be declared, and undeclared peanut can pose a serious risk to allergic consumers, who should not eat the product.
