BBQ Sauce Recall Could Impact Michigan Shoppers

If you were planning on firing up the grill anytime soon, you might want to take a quick look at the BBQ sauce sitting in your fridge. A nationwide recall involving a popular honey BBQ sauce could impact shoppers here in Michigan.

Honey BBQ Sauce Recall Could Affect Michigan Shoppers

Savannah Bee Company has issued a recall for certain bottles of its Honey BBQ Sauce-Mustard after discovering that some were accidentally filled with a different sauce. Instead of the mustard version listed on the label, some containers actually contained Honey BBQ Sauce-Sweet.

That might not sound like a huge deal at first, but it could be for those who have food allergies.

Undeclared Wheat and Soy Create Allergy Risk

The Honey BBQ Sauce-Sweet recipe contains wheat and soy, which are not listed on the bottle's label. For someone with a wheat or soy allergy, that kind of labeling mistake could potentially cause a serious or even life-threatening reaction.

The recalled product was distributed nationwide, which means it could easily have ended up on store shelves in Michigan.

The Exact BBQ Sauce Bottle Included In The Recall

The specific product included in the recall is a 16-ounce glass bottle of Savannah Bee Company Honey BBQ Sauce-Mustard with the lot number B1L1360525 and a best-by date of May 16, 2027. The UPC on the bottle is 850033937589.

So far, no illnesses have been reported, but the recall was issued as a precaution once the labeling issue was discovered.

What To Do If You Have The Recalled BBQ Sauce

If you happen to have this BBQ sauce at home, the safest move is not to eat it. Instead, you can throw it away or return it to the store where you bought it for a refund.

Again, the concern here isn't about spoilage or contamination. The issue is simply that the wrong sauce ended up in the wrong bottle, creating a potential allergen risk for anyone sensitive to wheat or soy.

It's always a good reminder to double-check recall notices, especially when they involve ingredients that could trigger allergies.
