Bay Valley Foods, LLC, a Pittsburgh, Pa., establishment, in conjuction with the U.S. Food Safety and Inspection Service, is recalling approximately 188,181 pounds of Reduced Sodium Chicken Noodle Soup. The product may contain an undeclared allergen.
The product label indicates that the can contains Chicken Noodle Soup; however, it may contain Cream of Chicken Soup. The product was prepared using an ingredient blend that contained milk, a known allergen, which was not declared on the label, the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) announced today.
The product subject to recall is:
- 10.5-oz. cans of "GREAT VALUE REDUCED SODIUM CHICKEN NOODLE CONDENSED SOUP."
The products subject to recall bear the USDA mark of inspection on the label, and the establishment number "P-51," and best-by date of "09 29 12" ink-jetted on the bottom of each can. These products were produced on September 29, 2010, and were distributed to a retail establishment nationwide. When available, the retail distribution list(s) will be posted on FSIS' website at www.fsis.usda.gov/FSIS_Recalls/Open_Federal_Cases/index.asp.
The problem was discovered after Bay Valley Foods, Inc. received a customer complaint that the product was incorrectly labeled. FSIS and the company have received no reports of adverse reactions due to consumption of these products. Anyone concerned about a reaction should contact a healthcare provider.
FSIS routinely conducts recall effectiveness checks to verify recalling firms notify their customers of the recall and to ensure that steps are taken to make certain that the product is no longer available to consumers.
