Sunchanggung 990 Ssamjang Seasoned Soybean Paste Recalled for Undeclared Sesame
What was recalled
The Canadian Food Inspection Agency issued a food recall warning on October 29, 2026, for Sunchanggung 990 Ssamjang (Seasoned Soybean Paste). The recalling firm is HYMS Trading Ltd., and the identification number on the notice is RA-82883. The affected product is a 170 g pack with UPC 8 801039 008478, and the recall covers all codes where sesame is not declared on the label. No brand name in Latin characters is given in the notice; the brand field reads N/A (Korean characters only). The problem is plain: the paste contains sesame, and the label does not declare it.
How to check the pack in your kitchen
Start with the name and the size, then check the UPC against the number above. If the pack is 170 g of Sunchanggung 990 Ssamjang and its code falls under the “sesame not declared” condition, treat it as part of this recall. A pack that declares sesame on its label, or carries a different UPC, does not match what the notice describes. The recall was triggered by the company, and the notice states there have been no reported reactions associated with consumption of this product.
What the notice does not spell out
Neither a distribution list nor a recall class is stated in the notice text, so this post does not guess at either one. Readers who need those details should check the original CFIA notice linked below. The agency says it is conducting a food safety investigation, which may lead to the recall of other products, and it is verifying that industry is removing the recalled products from the marketplace.
What to do
Check to see if you have the recalled product. Do not consume recalled products to which you are allergic or sensitive, as they may cause a serious or life-threatening reaction. Do not serve, use, sell or distribute recalled products. Recalled products should be thrown out or returned to the location where they were purchased.
