In a significant move to safeguard consumer health, federal regulators announced a nationwide recall of specific instant noodle products due to possible peanut contamination. The recall was initiated voluntarily by Fly By Jing, a Los Angeles-based company known for its vegan-friendly Creamy Sesame Noodles, which are rich in protein.
The U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA) highlighted the seriousness of this situation, particularly for individuals with peanut allergies. The agency warned that consumption of these noodles could lead to severe or even life-threatening allergic reactions for those affected. In response to the recall, Fly By Jing expressed its commitment to food safety and quality, stating, “We take food quality and safety seriously, and we are deeply sorry for any concern this causes. We are committed to making this right for every customer.”
The recall was prompted by the discovery that a third-party manufacturer had used shared equipment that also processes peanuts. This cross-contamination could pose a significant health risk to individuals who are allergic to peanuts. The affected instant noodle products were distributed across the country via Fly By Jing’s website and retail outlets, including notable stores like Whole Foods Market and Thrive Market. Additionally, the company mentioned that the products might have also been available for purchase through TikTok.
The specific products included in the recall are both single and four-pack containers of Creamy Sesame Noodles, identified by lot codes 8-50052-23988-6 and 8-50052-23991-6. The best-by dates for these items are October 15, 2026, December 6, 2026, and March 23, 2027. According to the FDA, these products were distributed to various retailers between February 1, 2026, and May 8, 2026.
In light of this serious concern, Fly By Jing is offering full refunds to customers who purchased the affected products. Customers can return the items to the retailer for a complete refund. Those who bought the noodles through the company’s website or TikTok Shop will be contacted directly to facilitate the refund process.
To prioritize consumer safety further, Fly By Jing has taken immediate action by halting distribution of the affected products, notifying customers and retail partners, and placing all remaining inventory on hold. The company has also committed to enhancing allergen controls with its third-party manufacturer to prevent similar issues in the future.
It is important to note that no other products from Fly By Jing are included in this recall alert. Customers who seek more information about the recall can reach out to the Fly By Jing consumer hotline at 1-866-862-2645 or email recall@flybyjing.com.
