USDA Issues Highest-Risk Recall for Frozen Soup Dumplings Sold in 3 States Over Undeclared Peanut

The U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) announced on May 31, 2026, that Synear Foods USA, LLC is recalling approximately 71,603 pounds of frozen pork and crab soup dumpling products because they contain peanut — a known allergen — that is not declared on the product label.

According to FSIS, the recall has been classified as Class I, its highest-risk designation, indicating a reasonable probability of serious health consequences for people with peanut allergies.

Have Any Illnesses Been Reported?

According to FSIS, there have been no confirmed reports of adverse reactions due to consumption of these products as of the time of the recall announcement. However, FSIS has stated it is concerned that some product may still be in consumers' freezers. Anyone who believes they may have had a reaction after consuming these products is urged to contact a healthcare provider.

Who Should Be Most Concerned

This recall is particularly urgent for anyone with a peanut allergy or sensitivity. According to Food Safety News, people with a sensitivity or allergy to peanuts risk severe and possibly life-threatening reactions if they consume these products.

Why This Recall Happened

According to FSIS, the problem was discovered during a routine allergen verification task by FSIS inspection personnel. Inspectors identified that the products contained peanut oil that was not declared on the finished product label. The company determined that a formulation change had led to the mislabeling.

The products were also exported to Canada, according to FSIS. FSIS routinely conducts recall effectiveness checks to verify that recalling firms have notified their customers and that the product is no longer available to consumers. Updated retail distribution lists will be posted on the FSIS website at fsis.usda.gov/recalls as they become available.
