Texas Pete Buffalo Wing Sauce Recall: Reason, affected locations, and all you need to know

Over 50,600 bottles of 12 oz. Texas Pete Buffalo Wing Sauce are being recalled by the T.W. Garner Food Company over undeclared soy allergen concerns. It is feared that some bottles of the product may mistakenly contain Texas Pete® Extra Mild Wing Sauce instead of what the label states. The Texas Pete® Extra Mild Wing Sauce contains soy, which, when consumed by people with soy allergies, may cause them to experience severe to life-threatening allergic reactions.

Announced on May 25, 2023, the voluntary recall was initiated after the establishment received a report from a direct customer stating that a bottle labeled as Texas Pete® Buffalo Wing Sauce instead comprised Texas Pete® Extra Mild Wing Sauce. However, the Texas Pete® Buffalo Wing Sauce does not contain soy, so the bottles do not declare the presence of the allergen. As investigations progressed, it was found that the problem was caused by applying the wrong label during a portion of the production run.

As of now, neither the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) nor T.W. Garner Food Company has received reports of any illness or fatalities regarding consumption of the recalled products.
