Tanpopo Japanese Food Recalls Sushi Rolls Due to Incorrect Use-By Dates

What Happened

Tanpopo Japanese Food has issued a recall for two of its sushi roll products due to the application of incorrect use-by dates. Because the dates printed on the packaging are inaccurate, the products may be unsafe to consume past their intended shelf life.

Which Products Are Affected

The recall involves the following products sold in England:

• Tanpopo Surimi & Avocado Roll
• Tanpopo Chicken Katsu Roll

Specific batch codes or pack sizes were not provided in the initial alert; however, the recall applies to all units affected by the labeling error as identified by the business.

What You Should Do

Consumers who have purchased the affected Tanpopo sushi rolls are advised not to eat them. Instead, return the products to the store where they were purchased to receive a full refund. For further information, consumers can contact Tanpopo Japanese Food directly.

Why This Matters

Use-by dates are critical for food safety, particularly for chilled products like sushi. Consuming food past its actual expiration date increases the risk of foodborne illness and bacterial growth.
