Sun Noodle Recalls Sura Tanmen Soup Kits Over Undeclared Fish Allergen

Sun Noodle of Honolulu, Hawaii is voluntarily recalling 134 packages (15.4oz) of Sura Tanmen Hot and Sour Flavor Premium Japanese Noodles & Soup Base because the product may contain an undeclared fish allergen. People with an allergy or severe sensitivity to fish face the risk of a serious or life-threatening allergic reaction if they consume this product.

What Products Are Being Recalled?

The recall covers Sura Tanmen Hot and Sour Flavor Premium Japanese Noodles & Soup Base sold under the ‘Sun Noodle’ brand, item number 05410, with case item number 05410.1. The unit UPC is 085315054108 and the case UPC is 085315054105. Each individual plastic package weighs 15.4oz, and each cardboard case contains 12 packages, weighing 11.75 lbs. The affected lot code is 1226183. The product was distributed exclusively in the state of Hawaii between July 9 and July 29, 2026, through retailers including Don Don Donki Kapolei Store, Don Quijote Kaheka Store, Don Quijote Pearl City Store, Golden Touch Trading Inc., H-Mart Kakaako LLC, Marukai Hawaii Kam Shopping Center Store, Nijiya Market Ala Moana Store, Nijiya Market University Avenue Store, Roy’s Restaurant at Koolina, Suisan Company Ltd., Times Super Market Kahala Store, Times Super Market Kihei Store, and Tokyo Central Store.

Why Was This Recall Issued?

The recall was initiated after Sun Noodle received a consumer inquiry noting that the soup base included in a kit did not match the Sura Tanmen product. An internal investigation confirmed that a soba sauce containing fish was mistakenly packed into Sura Tanmen kits instead of the correct soup base. Fish is not declared as an allergen on the Sura Tanmen packaging, which creates a serious risk for consumers with fish allergies. The issue was traced to a single production run, which has since been corrected, and the company has reviewed subsequent production lots to confirm they contain the correct soup base.
