The U.S. Food and Drug Administration announced the recall of Ying Feng-brand dried bulbus lily and dried snow fungus and Golden Girl-brand sweetened ginger.

The FDA said the products, sold in uncoded clear plastic containers and distributed nationwide by the Fine Land Corp. of Brooklyn, N.Y., contain undeclared sulfites, posing a health risk to people allergic to sulfites.

The recalled dried bulbus lily is sold in 10-ounce containers, the dried snow fungus is sold in 3-ounce containers and the "Mut Gung" sweetened ginger in 7-ounce containers.

Consumers who have purchased the products can return them to the place of purchase for a refund.

Consumers needing additional information who have purchased the dried bulbus lily can contact the company at 917-939-5595, while people who bought dried snow fungus or the Golden Girl-brand sweetened ginger can contact the company at 718-714-1850.

The FDA said the dried bulbus lilly and dried snow fungus are products of China, while the sweetened ginger is a product of Vietnam.
