Over 10,000 Tofu Cases Recalled over Possible Ink Contamination
The company said no illnesses have been reported and is investigating whether packaging ink migrated into the tofu.
- Oakland-Based Hodo is voluntarily recalling 10,084 cases of its Chili Crisp Lightly Fried Tofu across 29 states due to possible printing ink migration from packaging into the product.
- The recall, reported by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, began after Hodo noticed discoloration during a "scale-up of a new product," prompting immediate additional testing.
- Affected 8-ounce packages carry UPC 850565007842, with best-if-used-by dates spanning May through November 2026; Hodo is evaluating whether heat and chili oil contributed to potential contamination.
- Consumers should not eat the recalled tofu and may return it to the original point of purchase for a refund or request a replacement voucher online, the company said.
- No illnesses or injuries have been reported, and Hodo is continuing to investigate the cause; customers can contact the company via email or phone Monday through Friday between 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. PDT.
