The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced on February 27 a nationwide recall for barbecue sauce produced by Savannah Bee Company. The specific product affected is labeled as "Honey BBQ Sauce-Mustard," but was mistakenly filled with "Honey BBQ Sauce-Sweet." This critical mislabeling incident has resulted in the presence of undeclared wheat and soy allergens in the product, posing a significant health risk to individuals with sensitivities or allergies to these ingredients.

Although no illnesses have been reported to date in connection with this recall, the situation carries the potential for serious or life-threatening allergic reactions for consumers with wheat or soy allergies. The FDA and Savannah Bee Company are urging all consumers to take immediate action by checking their refrigerators and pantries for the recalled barbecue sauce.

To identify the affected product, consumers should look for the following specific details:

• Product name: Honey BBQ Sauce-Mustard
• Size: 16 fl oz
• Batch code: B1L1360525
• Best before: 05/16/27
• UPC: 8 50033 93758 9

The recalled barbecue sauce was distributed to various retailers and distributors across the nation during the period between July 30, 2025, and February 26, 2026. The FDA's guidance advises all consumers, regardless of whether they have known wheat or soy allergies, to dispose of the recalled product immediately. Furthermore, consumers are encouraged to contact Savannah Bee Company directly to request a full refund, ensuring that public safety is maintained and potential adverse health events from accidental consumption are prevented.
