A Honey BBQ Sauce–Mustard sold by Savannah Bee Company has been recalled after federal officials confirmed the product was distributed with undeclared wheat and soy allergens. According to reporting by KGW, the recall covers shipments sent nationwide—including to retail outlets and distribution centers that serve Southwest Washington—between July 30, 2025, and February 26, 2026.

Federal regulators list the issue as an undeclared allergen violation involving both wheat and soy, substances that can trigger serious reactions in individuals with allergies or sensitivities. The affected Honey BBQ Sauce–Mustard was sent not only to stores but also directly to consumers. Because the distribution network includes large retail chains with locations across the I‑5 corridor, shoppers in Cowlitz County may have purchased the product over the past several months.

According to federal recall records reviewed by Columbia Countercurrent, the notice does not report any illnesses at the time of publication, but the absence of reported cases does not eliminate risk. Individuals with allergies to wheat or soy are advised to check their pantries for Savannah Bee Company Honey BBQ Sauce–Mustard purchased anytime between late July 2025 and late February 2026. Regulators note that consuming products with undeclared allergens can lead to reactions ranging from mild symptoms to medical emergencies.

Retailers typically remove recalled items once notified, but products already purchased remain the responsibility of individual consumers. The recall applies to all units within the affected date range, regardless of where they were purchased.

Why this matters locally

Cowlitz County relies heavily on regional distribution hubs that receive national shipments before routing goods to stores in Longview, Kelso, and surrounding communities. When a recall covers a broad national network, it often includes inventory that passed through these hubs. For households with food-allergic members, timely information about mislabeled or contaminated products is essential to preventing accidental exposure.

Residents who believe they may have purchased the recalled product can dispose of it or contact the company for guidance on returns or refunds. Individuals experiencing symptoms after consuming the sauce should seek medical attention.
