Sheng Kee of California, Inc. Issues Allergy Alert on Undeclared Egg in the Following Traditional Mooncake Products

September 11, 2023  |  Egg

Sheng Kee of California, Inc. is voluntarily recalling varieties of Mooncake Gift Boxes for customers that have any issues because they may contain undeclared egg wash. People who have allergies to egg run the risk of serious or life-threatening allergic reaction if they consume these products.

The recalled Mooncakes were distributed nationwide in retail stores and through mail orders. We are working with our wholesalers and retailers to relabel and refit the current boxes.

The products come in Glossy Paper Gift Boxes in Various Colors with an expiration labeled on the bottom of the box.

No illnesses have been reported to date in connection with this problem.

The voluntary recall was initiated after it was discovered that the egg-containing products were distributed in packaging that did not reveal the presence of egg. Subsequent investigation indicates the problem was caused by a temporary breakdown in the company's production and packaging processes.
