Twin Marquis LLC has issued a recall for its Twin Marquis® Thick Shanghai Style Plain Noodle packages, following concerns that some might contain undeclared egg. This recall involves noodle packets produced on a specific date, raising alarms about the potential for allergic reactions.
### Why This Matters
Food recalls related to undeclared allergens have surged in recent years, prompting public health alerts for various food products. Millions of Americans experience food sensitivities, and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) lists the nine primary allergens in the U.S. as:
- Eggs
- Milk
- Fish
- Wheat
- Soybeans
- Crustacean shellfish
- Sesame
- Tree nuts
- Peanuts
The FDA warns that individuals with egg allergies could face serious, possibly life-threatening reactions if they consume these particular noodles, which were not labeled to indicate egg as an ingredient.
Details of the Recall
The recall specifically impacts 16-ounce packages of the Twin Marquis® Thick Shanghai Style Plain Noodles. The affected products have a date code of 05520 and a UPC code of 760941103016. As of last Friday, there have been no reported illnesses or adverse reactions associated with these products.
According to the recall notification, the Shanghai Style noodles may contain Lo Mein noodles, which do include eggs. Numerous packages may have been incorrectly labeled, increasing the risk for customers who are unaware of the hidden allergen.
These noodles were distributed through various ethnic retail outlets throughout the United States, which makes awareness and vigilance crucial for consumers who may have purchased them.
Insights from the Company
The recall stems from an investigation initiated by a distributor’s complaint about possible contamination. The company confirmed that production on the affected products took place on May 20, 2025, at its Brooklyn, New York facility.
In a statement shared with Newsweek earlier this year, the FDA noted the role it plays during voluntary recalls. The agency explained, “Most recalls in the U.S. are carried out voluntarily by the product manufacturer, and when a public warning is issued—typically via news release—the FDA disseminates that information as a public service.”
The FDA also monitors the recall process, assesses any health hazards posed by the recalled product, and keeps the public and supply chain companies informed about the situation. Consumers can access more information about recalls through the FDA’s Recalls, Market Withdrawals, & Safety Alerts section on its website.
Next Steps for Customers
Consumers who have purchased the Twin Marquis® Thick Shanghai Style Plain Noodles are strongly advised to return them to the store where they were bought for a full refund. The recall notice emphasizes that customer safety and satisfaction are top priorities for the company.
