FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE - July 28, 2011 - SHATA TRADING INC of 116 8th Street Brooklyn, NY 11215 is recalling Three Rivers Brand Golden Raisins because it contains undeclared sulfites.

Three Rivers Brand Golden Raisins is sold in an un-coded, 400 gram clear plastic bag and was distributed in New York State. It is the product of the USA.
