Sun Noodle Recall: Sura Tanmen Hot and Sour Noodles Pulled Over Undeclared Fish Allergen (Lot #1226183)
If you or someone in your household has a fish allergy, take a quick moment to check the noodles base you have at home. The FDA says Sun Noodle’s “Sura Tanmen Hot and Sour Flavor Premium Japanese Noodles & Soup Base” is being voluntarily recalled because the soup base may contain an undeclared fish allergen.
The good news: the FDA notice includes exact identifiers (including lot #1226183) and tells consumers what to do next. Don’t eat the recalled product.

According to the FDA recall notice, the product is:

UPC list is provided in the FDA recall notice.
Action for fish-allergic shoppers: If your package matches lot #1226183 and one of the listed UPCs, do not use it—even if the label doesn’t warn about fish.
Where it was sold and the timeframe
This recall is limited to Hawaii retailers, with the product distributed during the period listed by the FDA: July 9 through July 29, 2026. (The FDA notice also includes retailer/location details—check the notice for the specific list.)
Has anyone reported illnesses or allergic reactions?
In the FDA recall notice, no illnesses or adverse allergic reactions have been reported to date (as of the information in the notice). Still, if your household includes someone with fish allergy, avoidance is the priority because the allergen may be present even when it’s not declared.
What to do now
If you have the recalled Sun Noodle product:
- Do not eat it. Don’t “taste to see.”
- Set it aside so it doesn’t get used by mistake.
- Return it for a full refund as directed in the FDA recall notice.
The safest next step for many families is to remove the item from where other soup bases are stored (or place it in a bag/container in the same spot you keep returns) until you’ve completed the return.
Extra kitchen steps if you’re cooking in a fish-allergy home
If you handled the product already, here are simple, practical steps:
- Wash hands after handling.
- Clean and sanitize any surfaces and utensils that may have touched the soup base.
- Don’t reuse bowls, spoons, or containers that had direct contact without washing first.
- Keep it separate from other ingredients until you return it.
What to cook instead this week (allergen-safe planning)
Until you confirm what’s in your pantry, it’s smart to plan meals around fish-free choices you can verify by label. A cautious approach is:
- Choose plain noodles (or other noodle/rice options) and pair them with a broth or seasoning blend you’ve confirmed is fish-free for your household’s needs.
- If you make soup at home, build flavor using fish-free ingredients (for example, clearly labeled vegetable seasoning, chicken seasoning where appropriate, garlic, ginger, and vinegar), and check labels for allergen statements.
- When shopping, look for labels that declare or exclude fish/allergen concerns according to your household’s guidance.
If you’re unsure whether an ingredient is appropriate, it’s okay to switch to a simpler week of meals that rely on ingredients you already trust and have checked.
Bottom line
Sun Noodle’s Sura Tanmen Hot and Sour Flavor Premium Japanese Noodles & Soup Base is under FDA recall because the soup base may contain an undeclared fish allergen. If your package shows lot #1226183 (and matches the affected UPCs listed by FDA), don’t eat it—return it for a full refund and plan your meals this week using fish-free, label-checked ingredients.
