Benny T’s dry hot sauces recalled over undisclosed wheat allergy risk

Vesta Fiery Gourmet Foods is recalling several types of its Benny T’s dry hot sauces because the product labels do not disclose that the sauces contain wheat flour, a potential allergen.  

The recall comprises five flavors of chile pepper-based dry sauces that come in 1.5-ounce jars, the Raleigh, North Carolina-based food company said Monday in a statement on the Food and Drug Administration’s site. People with allergies or severe sensitivities to wheat could “face the risk of serious or life-threatening allergic reaction if they consume the dry sauces,” the company said. 

The FDA has not received any reports of illnesses linked to the sauces.
