ILG International Trading, Inc of Brooklyn, NY is recalling its 500 g (17 oz) packages of "Natural Delight Collection" Natural Dried Apricots because they contain undeclared sulfites. Consumers who have severe sensitivity to sulfites run the risk of serious or life-threatening allergic reactions if they consume this product.
