The recalled Eltahan Golden Raisins are packaged in a 400-gram, clear plastic package, with UPC 2337660022.

Reason For Recall

A sampling by the New York State Department of Agriculture during a routine check found sulfites in the product which was distributed in packaging that did not reveal the presence of sulfites

Production Has Stopped

"Production and distribution of the product has been suspended until FDA and the company are certain that the problem has been corrected," the FDA said in its recall notice.
