White Lotus Seed Paste Mooncake Recalled Over Undeclared Peanut: CFIA

A mooncake sold across Canada and online may contain peanut that is not listed on the label, and that could trigger a serious or life-threatening allergic reaction. The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) has issued a food recall warning for White Lotus Seed Paste Mooncake with 2 Egg Yolks, a product sold by New Evergrow Global Trading Inc.

The recall was announced on October 16, 2026. The CFIA has classified it as a Class 1 recall, its most serious category, and the notice carries the identification number RA-82799.

Products Affected by This Recall

Only one product is named in the notice. It is a 600 g box that holds four individually packaged 150 g mooncakes. The packaging carries no brand name in English. The only marking on the label is in Chinese characters.

• Product: White Lotus Seed Paste Mooncake with 2 Egg Yolks
• Brand: None (Chinese characters only)
• Size: 600 g (4 x 150 g)
• UPC: 4 897002 743648
• Code: Best before 2026-NO-30
• Recalling firm: New Evergrow Global Trading Inc.

Check the best before date and the UPC on the back of the box if you have one at home. Only the product with this code is covered by the notice.

What Triggered the Recall

The product is being pulled from the marketplace because it contains peanut that is not declared on the label. Peanut is a priority food allergen in Canada, so it must be clearly listed on packaged food. When it is missing from the ingredient list, people with a peanut allergy have no way of knowing the product is unsafe for them.

The recall was triggered by a consumer complaint. The CFIA says there has been one reported reaction associated with eating this product. The notice does not describe the reaction.

Who Should Be Concerned

The greatest risk is to anyone with a peanut allergy or sensitivity. That includes children, and it includes guests who may be offered mooncakes at family gatherings or festival celebrations. Mooncakes are often shared in gift boxes and passed between households, so a box may reach someone who never saw the label.

The CFIA lists the distribution as national and online. This means the product may have been sold in stores across Canada and through online sellers. The notice does not name specific retailers, provinces or the number of units involved.

What Consumers Need to Do Now

If you have this mooncake at home, follow the steps in the CFIA notice:

• Check to see if you have the recalled product.
• Do not consume it if you are allergic or sensitive to peanut. It may cause a serious or life-threatening reaction.
• Do not serve, use, sell or distribute the recalled product.
• Throw the product out, or return it to the place where you bought it.

If you or someone in your household has eaten the product and has symptoms of an allergic reaction, seek medical help right away. If you have a concern about food safety or labelling, you can report it to the CFIA through its online complaint process.

What the Agency Said

The CFIA says it is conducting a food safety investigation, and that the investigation may lead to the recall of other products. The agency is also verifying that industry is removing the recalled product from the marketplace. Updates will be posted on the Government of Canada recalls website if more products are added.

This 2026 recall is a reminder to read labels on imported and specialty foods, especially when the packaging has limited English text. When the label is unclear, it is safest to avoid giving the product to anyone with a food allergy.
