WASHINGTON - A California-based vegetarian food company is recalling more

than 3,100 cases of frozen food products because they may contain undeclared

whole eggs or egg albumen powder, which can be deadly to people allergic to

them.

YTS Group Inc. of El Monte, Calif., said the recall covers these YTS Veggie

Food, YTS Products and Kimbo brand products: Veggie Golden Roast, Liang Zen

Golden Ham, Veggie Curry Ham, Veggie Lamb, Vegetarian Smoked Drum Stick,

Mushroom Cake, New Century Veggie and Veggie Steamboat Flavoring. The YTS

Veggie Food and YTS Products brand containers have yellow labels, the Kimbo

containers have green labels.

The recall affects the 2.2-pound, 1-pound, 12-ounce and 10-ounce containers

which have expiration dates from April 27, 2004 to April 27, 2005. The dates

are stamped in black on the bottom of the packages.

The products were distributed nationwide, mainly in California, Minnesota,

New York, Utah and Washington.

YTS said no illnesses have been linked to the product.

The Food and Drug Administration is cooperating in the recall.

Consumers can return the product to the place of purchase for a refund. More

information is available by calling the company at 626-455-0242, weekdays 12

p.m.-7 p.m. EDT
