LQNN Inc Banh Ba Xa and Varieties of Banh Pia

LQNN Inc., of Garden Grove, California, is voluntarily recalling Banh Ba Xa and varieties of Banh Pia because they may contain undeclared egg. 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 affected products are packaged in various colors of foil bags, with the lot number or best by date printed on the front of the bag. The affected Banh Pia products are under the brand Saigon Gourmet, and all affected products are manufactured by Tan Hue Vien. The twelve (12) affected products are listed in the table below.

The recalled Banh Ba Xa and varieties of Banh Pia were distributed to Canada, and nationwide to Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Louisiana, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, Nebraska, Nevada, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Virginia, and Washington to wholesalers, markets, retail stores, and on-line websites.

The company is working with their distributors to recall the affected products. NO illness has been reported to date.

The recall was initiated after it was discovered that the affected products may have mistakenly had an egg wash applied. Subsequent investigation indicates the problem may have been caused by a mistake in the manufacturer’s production and packaging process.

Distribution of the product has been placed on hold until the company is certain that the product has been corrected. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation in this matter. The company assures you that they are undertaking measured steps to prevent its recurrence.

Consumers who have purchased the above Banh Ba Xa and varieties of Banh Pia are urged to return them to the place of purchase for a full refund.
