Fish Allergy Warning: Azuma Foods Recalls Tako Wasabi Over Undeclared Bonito Extract
HAYWARD, Calif. – June 12, 2026 – Azuma Foods International Inc. has issued a recall of its Tako Wasabi seasoned octopus product after discovering that a recipe change introduced undeclared fish, posing a serious health risk to consumers with fish allergies.
The voluntary recall, announced by the FDA on Friday, affects 545 cases of the Azuma Foods brand “Tako Wasabi – Seasoned Octopus with Wasabi,” sold in 3-pack retail sleeves with a net weight of 5.3 ounces (150g). The product was distributed across eight states—California, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, New Jersey, New York, Texas, and Washington—through various retail stores between mid-August 2025 and May 2026.
The company initiated the recall after it was discovered that a mollusk extract traditionally used in the product had been replaced with bonito extract—a fish-derived ingredient—without Azuma Foods’ knowledge or consent. The manufacturer failed to notify the company of the recipe change, leaving the fish allergen undeclared on product labels.
People who have an allergy or severe sensitivity to fish and consume the affected product run the risk of serious or life-threatening allergic reactions. To date, no allergic reactions have been reported in connection with this recall.

Amazon-Exclusive Nasal Spray Recalled Nationwide Over Mold Contamination Risk
COVINA, Calif. – June 11, 2026 – Beekeeper’s Naturals has issued a voluntary nationwide recall of its Saline Nasal Spray after laboratory testing revealed microbial contamination, including yeast and Aspergillus spp., a mold that can cause life-threatening infections in vulnerable populations.
The recall affects Lot #5950 with an expiration date of 02/2028, which was sold exclusively through Amazon. According to the company, 585 units of the affected lot were sold between April 2 and April 24, 2026.
The product, used as a sinus congestion rinse, is packaged in a single-unit 1 FL OZ. (30 mL) bottle. The lot number and expiration date can be found on the bottom or back label.
Beekeeper’s Naturals stated that the contaminated lot was produced at a third-party manufacturer and tested above the company’s acceptable microbiological limits for yeast. The company disclosed that due to a clerical error, the lot was mistakenly shipped to Amazon before testing results became available.
For individuals with weakened immune systems or lung diseases, the company warned that exposure to Aspergillus spp. through the nasal spray carries a reasonable probability of causing serious and life-threatening infections, including invasive sinusitis and lung infections.
To date, Beekeeper’s Naturals has received four reports from customers regarding adverse reactions potentially linked to the recalled product, including sinus congestion, irritation, or infection. No severe outcomes have been reported.
The company has already coordinated with Amazon to directly notify all purchasers of the affected lot. Consumers who have purchased the product are urged to check the lot number on the label. If it reads Lot 5950 with a Best By date of 02/2028, they should discontinue use immediately.
Customers may contact Beekeeper’s Naturals at contact@beekeepersnaturals.com or 1-888-759-6910, Monday through Friday from 8:00 AM to 8:00 PM ET, for a refund or with any questions. Those who have experienced health issues related to the product should consult their physician or healthcare provider.
Adverse reactions can also be reported to the FDA’s MedWatch Adverse Event Reporting program online, by mail, or by fax.
No other Beekeeper’s Naturals products, including the Nasal Spray Max, are impacted by this recall. The company stated it has taken immediate corrective action to identify and resolve the source of the contamination.
The recall is being conducted with the knowledge of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
Total Nutrition Expands Moringa Capsule Recall Over Salmonella Concerns as FDA Investigation Widens
DEER PARK, N.Y. – June 2, 2026 – Total Nutrition Inc. has expanded its voluntary recall of TNVitamins and Doctor’s Pride Ultra Potent Complete Green Superfood Moringa Capsules due to possible Salmonella contamination, the company announced Tuesday.
The expanded recall now includes additional lots of both brands, following a traceability review that identified a common raw material from Lot 2507199, one of the lots originally recalled. The newly added lot is Lot 2748, which affects both TNVitamins Ultra Potent Complete Green Superfood Moringa 10,000 mg (120 capsules) and Doctor’s Pride Complete Green Superfood Ultra Potent Moringa 10,000 mg (120 capsules), both with an expiration date of 07/2027.
The products are packaged in white HDPE supplement bottles with smooth white caps and contain 120 clear capsules filled with green moringa powder. They were distributed nationally through online platforms including Amazon, Walmart, TikTok Shop, Target, and the company’s websites, tnvitamins.com and doctorspride.com.
The recall was initiated following notification from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) that these products may be implicated in an ongoing investigation associated with moringa-containing dietary supplement products.
Salmonella is an organism that can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems. Healthy individuals infected with Salmonella often experience fever, diarrhea—which may be bloody—nausea, vomiting, and abdominal pain. In rare cases, the infection can enter the bloodstream and lead to more severe illnesses such as arterial infections, endocarditis, and arthritis.
Total Nutrition Inc. has ceased distribution and sale of the identified products and has initiated removal orders across all applicable sales and fulfillment channels while the FDA, CDC, and the company continue their investigation.
