Twin Marquis LLC is recalling its individually wrapped Twin Marquis® Thick Shanghai Style Plain Noodle packages that were produced on only one specific date, due to fears of potentially undeclared egg.
Newsweek reached out to the company via email Monday night for additional information.
Why It Matters
Numerous public health alerts and recalls have been initiated this year because of the potential for damaged products, foodborne illness, contamination and undeclared food allergens.
Millions of Americans experience food sensitivities or allergies every year. According to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the nine “major” food allergens in the United States are eggs, milk, fish, wheat, soybeans, crustacean shellfish, sesame, tree nuts and peanuts.
“People who have an allergy or severe sensitivity to eggs run the risk of serious or life-threatening allergic reaction if they consume these products,” the alert warns.
What To Know
The alert says the recall affects the 16-ounce packages of the Twin Marquis® Thick Shanghai Style Plain Noodle products. The date code of the impacted product is 05520, with a UPC code number of 760941103016. There have been no illnesses or any adverse reactions reported as of Friday.
The alert warns that “The affected packages of Shanghai Style noodles, which do not list egg as an ingredient, may mistakenly contain Lo Mein noodles, which are made with egg.”
The noodle packages were distributed through “ethnic retail outlets” across the country, the alert adds.
What People Are Saying
The alert, in part: “The item being recalled was produced on May 20, 2025, at the company’s production facility in Brooklyn, New York. The company discovered the issue as the result of a complaint from a distributor.”
In an email to Newsweek in January, the FDA said: “Most recalls in the U.S. are carried out voluntarily by the product manufacturer and when a company issues a public warning, typically via news release, to inform the public of a voluntary product recall, the FDA shares that release on our website as a public service.
“The FDA’s role during a voluntary, firm-initiated, recall is to review the recall strategy, evaluate the health hazard presented by the product, monitor the recall, and as appropriate alert the public and other companies in the supply chain about the recall.
“The FDA provides public access to information on recalls by posting a listing of recalls according to their classification in the FDA Enforcement Report, including the specific action taken by the recalling company. The FDA Enforcement Report is designed to provide a public listing of products in the marketplace that are being recalled.”
Additional information on recalls can be found via the FDA’s Recalls, Market Withdrawals, & Safety Alerts.
What Happens Next
People who have purchased the recalled noodles are urged to return them to the original place of purchase for a refund, the alert says.
