A public health alert has been issued for Wow Bao retail packages of Thai-style curry chicken steamed buns (bao), due to misbranding and undeclared allergens. The products—shipped to Walmart locations nationwide—may actually contain teriyaki chicken bao, which has known allergens soy and sesame that are not declared on the product label, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS).
The problem was discovered when the manufacturer notified FSIS that it received a consumer complaint about a box labeled Thai-style curry chicken bao, but contained pouches of bao teriyaki chicken instead. So far, there have been no confirmed reports of adverse reactions due to consumption of these products.
 | Whole cucumbers recalled due to possible salmonella contamination. |
The fully cooked, frozen bao curry chicken product was packaged on March 20, 2024, and can be identified by the following information:
• 10-oz. boxes containing four Wow Bao Thai-style curry chicken with “best if used by” date of 4/12/25 printed on the side of the box.
