A popular fruit product sold in stores around the country has been recalled in nearly 20 states, including Missouri, over a labeling "issue."

Turkana Food Inc. has issued a recall of 352 cases of its Floria Dried Apricots after it was determined they contain sulfites that were not declared on the package label, according to a recall notice shared by the U.S. Food & Drug Administration. The impacted products feature the Lot Number 440090478, UPC label 2539560010 and expiration date of 11/2026.

The affected products, sold in 200-gram paper packaging, were distributed to in more than a dozen states, including Alabama, California, Florida, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Missouri, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Tennessee, Texas and Virginia.

The error was discovered during a routine sampling that found the finished products contained sulfites not listed on the label. According to the company announcement, Turkana Food Inc. has stopped production as it continues an investigation to "correct the issue with the manufacturer."

Anyone who purchased the recalled product is urged not to consume it and to return it to the place of purchase for a full refund. As of June 12, there have been no illnesses reported in connection to the recall.
