Azuma Foods International recalled its Tako Wasabi — seasoned octopus with wasabi, 3-pack 5.3 oz — over an undeclared fish allergen. Six lots were distributed from mid-August 2025 through May 2026 to retail stores in Florida.
Consumers with a fish allergy should not eat it; the alert lists the lot codes on the bottom of the mylar sleeve.
A wasabi-kicked octopus pack carrying a fish the ingredient list never met.
The label named the wasabi but not the fish that shared the processing line; nine months of lots were pulled once the allergen was found.
Undeclared fish allergen in Tako Wasabi 3-packs — six lots distributed Aug 2025–May 2026; Florida allergy alert
Octopus is a mollusc; the undeclared allergen is fish — the line processes more than the label says
Nine months of distribution before the alert — the lot codes date the silence
Allergen labels describe the line, not the recipe. When a shared plant processes fish beside octopus, the pack can tell the truth about wasabi and miss the hazard entirely.
