More than 37,000 cases of S&S Cup Saimin Noodles with Soup & Garnishes were recalled in May after officials discovered the dishes may have contained undeclared protein powder. The product, manufactured by Sun Noodle, was shipped to Hawaii, California, Nevada and Utah.

According to the recall, nine allergens identified by the FDA were not declared and could prove fatal to allergic consumers, the agency said in an update when it classified the recall as a “Class I” risk level this week.

This category is reserved for the most serious cases and is used “when there is a reasonable probability that the use of or contact with an infringing product will result in serious health consequences or death.”

The following items are affected by the recall:

  • Year 2023: Lot codes 1623129 – 1623365
  • Year 2024: Lot codes 1624001 – 1624129

There are no reports of consumers becoming ill after eating the noodles, the FDA reported.

Sun Noodle, the company that makes the noodles, released a statement following the recall, saying: “We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience or concern this may cause and assure our customers that we are taking all necessary steps to ensure the safety and quality of our products.”

According to the FDA, the noodle cups contain, among other things, eggs, wheat, peanuts, shellfish, milk, fish, soy, sesame and tree nuts.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, allergic consumers may experience a range of symptoms of varying severity, such as a swollen tongue, hives or vomiting.

The CDC warns that in extreme cases, people who eat the noodles and have an allergy may experience anaphylactic shock, which can lead to death.
