Barbecue Sauce Recalled Over Undeclared Allergens—What Shoppers Need to Know

Check your pantry. Savannah Bee Company is recalling a select lot of its Honey BBQ Sauce products due to undeclared allergens, according to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

Jars with the "Honey BBQ Sauce Mustard" label and batch code B1L1360525 may contain the brand's “Honey BBQ Sauce Sweet” product, which has wheat and soy. The mustard sauce is a golden yellow color, while the sweet sauce is a dark brown honey color. Photos of affected products can be found in the FDA notice.

The products were shipped nationwide to distribution centers, retail stores, and consumers between July 30, 2025, and February 26, 2026. They were packaged in clear glass bottles with an orange "Honey BBQ Sauce Mustard" label and the lot number and best-before date etched on the neck of the bottle.

The company was notified by a customer that the Honey BBQ Sauce Sweet product was mislabeled with a "Honey BBQ Sauce Mustard" label. The mislabeled products failed to state the allergens wheat and soy in the ingredients. No illnesses have been reported to date.

People with an allergy or severe sensitivity to wheat or soy run the risk of a serious or life-threatening allergic reaction if they consume the mislabeled BBQ sauce.

According to Food Allergy Research & Education, allergic reactions to soy are typically mild and produce symptoms such as hives, stomach cramps, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and itching, but reactions can be unpredictable. Although rare, severe and potentially life-threatening reactions can also occur, including anaphylaxis. A soy allergy can affect anyone of any age, per the Cleveland Clinic, but infants and young children are more likely to have it.

Those with a wheat allergy are likely to develop symptoms within minutes to hours after eating something containing wheat, the Mayo Clinic states. Symptoms include swelling, itching, or irritation of the mouth or throat; hives or an itchy rash; nasal congestion; headache; trouble breathing; cramps, nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea; and, in severe cases, anaphylaxis. If you believe you may have become ill after eating the recalled sauce, contact your healthcare provider.

If you purchased the mislabeled BBQ sauce, do not use it, especially if you or someone in your household has an allergy or severe sensitivity to wheat or soy. Instead, throw the product away and request a full refund. For questions, contact Savannah Bee Company's customer service at 800-955-5080, Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. EST.
