Khong Guan Corporation has expanded its earlier food recall to include an additional glutinous rice ball product after discovering that the affected products may contain undeclared peanuts. The recall was announced on July 15, 2026, and affects products sold across multiple U.S. states through retail stores and online.

Peanuts are a major food allergen, and consuming these products could cause serious or life-threatening allergic reactions in individuals with peanut allergies or severe sensitivities.

Reason for the Recall

The recall was initiated after a customer reported the suspected presence of peanuts in Glutinous Rice Balls with Black Sesame Filling. Following an investigation, the company expanded the recall to include Black & White Glutinous Rice Balls with Black Sesame Filling, as both products may contain undeclared peanut allergens.

The products were distributed in packaging that did not list peanuts on the ingredient label, posing a significant health risk to allergic consumers.
