A local caterer had already unboxed their most recent sushi wrap. The wrap came in vacuum sealed bags which had a lot number. The bags are easier to store as they can fit between other items.The regular mashgiach had tried to get a lot number to box number dictionary to see whether the sushi they had was in the recalled boxes but was unsuccessful. A few minutes before Sabbath, the day before a bat mitzvah party, the kashrut organization sent a text saying the sushi wrap in question shouldn't be used for a kosher event. I got a forward of the text on Saturday night as I left my house to be the initial mashgiach at the party. Naturally the catering company owner was pretty ticked off (this is an understatement). I told him that I thought a local grocery had the item but he told me he had no time to go and no one else did either. I told him to call the kashrut organization. As he was speaking to them, one of the workers said that they still had a box they bought a month earlier in one of the refrigerators. We found it and it was OK for use (not on the recall list). To be a real Hanukah miracle it would have been only a small amount but lasted for the whole event.
