WASHINGTON -- An Illinois company is recalling pork egg rolls stuffed with shrimp because they contain an allergen that isn't marked on the label, the Agriculture Department said Thursday.

Gung Ho Corp. in Bellwood, Ill., sold the egg rolls made with sodium bisulfite -- the unlisted allergen -- to stores and wholesalers in Illinois, Indiana and Kentucky, the department's Food Safety and Inspection Service said.

Victor Chang, a manager for the company, said officials still are determining how much of their product wasn't labeled for the allergen.

The products being recalled are: 10-ounce boxes of "Gung Ho, 3 Pork Egg Rolls With Shrimp Added," 10-ounce boxes of "Gung Ho, 6 Mini Pork Egg Rolls With Shrimp Added," and 12-ounce packages of "Gung Ho, Pork Egg Roll With Shrimp Added."
