Niitakaya USA Inc., based in Montebello, CA, has initiated a nationwide recall of two garlic-based products due to the presence of an undeclared allergen—fish (bonito). The products in question are:

1. #3700 Shiso Katsuo Ninniku
2. #3701 Miso Katsuo Ninniku

• Packaging: Clear plastic packages with the Niitakaya logo on top
