Fisher's Homestyle Salads is recalling Cheddar Potato Soup with Bacon because milk and corn were not declared on the label.

The agency’s classification

FDA (Food): Class II

Class II is a situation in which use of or exposure to a violative product may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences, or where the probability of serious adverse health consequences is remote.

This is the agency’s own classification, taken from its notice. The severity score below is our assessment, not the agency’s. How recall classes work

What this means for you

Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 3/5 (High).

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves allergen mislabeling on common allergens (milk and corn), which corresponds to a High severity score per the rubric.

Plain-English summary

Fisher's Homestyle Salads LLC is recalling Cheddar Potato Soup with Bacon packaged in 5 lb and 10 lb plastic containers. The recall was initiated because the product label failed to list milk as a source of cream, cheese, or butter, and it contained undeclared corn.

The affected product was distributed to Esh Foods, L.L.C. in Gordonville, PA; Landis Foods in Lancaster, PA; and Soup R Salads in Lancaster, PA. Additionally, approximately 140 lbs were sold directly to customers from the on-site retail counter at Fisher's Homestyle Salads, LLC. The packages did not include sell-by or expiration date codes, though a 10-day sell-by date was estimated as July 8, 2013.

Consumers who purchased this product should check their labels for the missing allergen information and contact the recalling firm for further instructions.
