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.
