Floria Dried Apricots, sold by Turkana Food Inc. and stamped with a November 2026 expiration date, have become the focus of that fear. The problem isn’t a rare toxin, but undeclared sulfites—a preservative that’s safe only when people know it’s there. For millions with sulfite sensitivity, especially those with asthma, that missing word on the package can mean hives, tightening airways, or a sudden plunge into anaphylaxis before anyone realizes what’s happening.
Bags carrying LOT #440090478-15-333 and UPC 2539560010 are now under recall. No reactions have been reported yet, but health officials are urging customers to stop eating the apricots at once and return them for a refund. As Turkana Food Inc. remains publicly silent, shoppers are left staring at ingredient lists, questioning how many other ordinary foods might be quietly rewriting the risk in every bite.
