WeiKFiELD Custard Powder Kesar Pista recalled for labeling error
Weikfield Foods' Custard Powder Kesar Pista (300g) lists an ingredient as "Pista" on the label, but it should be labeled as "Pistachio" using standard U.S. food naming. This mislabeling means the allergen is not clearly declared to consumers. About 192 units (8 cases) were distributed to Iowa, Ohio, North Carolina, New Jersey, and Illinois.
