If you’ve picked up a Bengal King Family Pack Vegetable Singara recently, it’s time to hit pause after a recall has been issued.
South Asian Food Inc., based in Maspeth, NY, has issued an urgent nationwide recall for their 1875g family packs of the frozen snack. Why? Because the product may contain undeclared peanuts, and that’s a big deal, especially for anyone with a peanut allergy.
The issue came to light when the company realized a peanut-containing ingredient had accidentally been included in the mix, but never made it onto the label. That’s a serious slip, considering even trace amounts of peanuts can cause life-threatening allergic reactions for some people. The company said it was caused by unintentional human error during packaging. That error turned into a massive recall effort once it was discovered.
Here’s what you need to look for: the recalled product is a white paper package labeled “Bengal King Family Pack Vegetable Singara” in black, green, and blue lettering on the front. On the back, you’ll find Lot #007, UPC Number #1824448372340, and an expiration date of 06/10/2026. These items were distributed all over the U.S., in retail stores and through mail orders.
Thankfully, no allergic reactions or illnesses have been reported yet. But that doesn’t mean the risk isn’t real. The recall was launched as a precautionary measure, and South Asian Food Inc. didn’t waste time pulling the product once they realized the label didn’t list peanuts. According to them, production of the product has now been suspended while the company works closely with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to fix the issue completely and prevent future mishaps.
If you’re holding onto one of these family packs, don’t eat it. Return it to where you bought it for a full refund, no questions asked. And if you’ve got concerns, you can contact South Asian Food Inc. at 718-894-2507, Monday through Friday, from 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM Eastern Time. The company rep handling this recall is Mohammed Khan.
It’s worth remembering that food labels aren’t just there for fun, they’re legal safety nets, especially when it comes to allergens like peanuts. This recall shows how even one oversight in a packaging room can have national consequences. South Asian Food Inc. appears to be doing everything right in response: acknowledging the mistake, halting production, cooperating with the FDA, and getting word out to customers ASAP.
For now, if you’ve got any Bengal King Family Pack Vegetable Singaras in your freezer with that lot number and expiration date, play it safe. This isn’t a minor recall, it’s a serious one tied to a potentially dangerous allergen. Spread the word, especially to friends and family who shop international or South Asian frozen foods.
Mistakes happen, but when it comes to allergens, transparency and fast action make all the difference. Good on South Asian Food Inc. for owning it and putting safety first. Just make sure to check your package, because no one wants a surprise peanut in their vegetable singara.
