Plain-English summary

Fisher's Homestyle Salads LLC is recalling Broccoli Cheese Soup 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, which constitutes a failure to properly declare a major food allergen.

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 of the product 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 have purchased this product should check their labels for the missing milk allergen declaration. Those with a milk allergy should avoid consuming the product. The FDA has classified this recall as Class II, indicating that there is a reasonable probability that the use of, or exposure to, the violative product may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences.
