HONOLULU (AP) -- The state Department of Health has raised a
red
flag about a locally popular hot sauce.
Health officials said certain batches of Tuong Ot Sriracha Hot
Chili
Sauce can splatter upon opening, irritating the eyes and other
mucous
membranes that come into contact with it. One injury has been
reported.
The problem is a result of excessive gas production within the
17-ounce
and 28-ounce plastic bottles, the department said Tuesday. The
sauce is
made by Huy Fong Foods Inc. of Rosemead, Calif.
Consumers were advised to discard unopened bottles of the
sauce
bearing the codes H9TM, H9TA, H9TX, H9TW or H9TY, or to return
the bottles to stores where they were purchased.
Huy Fong Foods voluntarily recalled the sauce in September
because the
garlic used to make it began to ferment and form gases that
pressurized
the contents of the bottle, health officials said.
Authorities said they continue to find recalled bottles still
in stores,
prompting Tuesday's health advisory.
