Here’s why a bloody mary mix made in Florida got recalled three days before Christmas
A supply chain problem started a chain of events that resulted in bottles of Joy’s Gourmet Bloody Mary Mix, made in Melbourne, getting recalled Wednesday.
The FDA found 24-ounce bottles with a best by date of 08-18-2023 had soy and fish. Neither allergen was listed among the ingredients. That’s not a problem if you don’t have a soy or fish allergy. If you do, the recall notice says “people who have an allergy or severe sensitivity to soy and fish run the risk of serious or life-threatening allergic reaction if they consume these products.”
The recall notice, written by Joy’s International Foods and posted by the FDA, said the problem was caused by “receiving a substitute to the Worcestershire sauce previously used due to supply chain failure.”
The bloody mary mix was sold at Sunshine Shop in Cocoa Village; Brownwood Farmers Market in Brownwood; New Smyrna Farmers Market in New Smyrna; Ocala Farmers Market in Ocala; and Indian Rocks Beach.
If you can’t use the bloody mary mix, return it to the place of purchase. If you have questions, contact Joy’s at 321-242-6520, Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., Eastern time.
