Plain-English summary

Alaska Pasta Company is voluntarily recalling 108.9 lbs of refrigerated pappardelli pasta. The product is packaged in plastic containers and was distributed only in Alaska. The containers are marked with the customer name, date of production, and weight, but no lot codes are present.

The recall was initiated because the firm used canola oil cooking spray containing soy lecithin during the manufacturing process. However, soy or soy lecithin is not declared on the finished product label. This constitutes an undeclared allergen.

Consumers who have purchased this product should check their refrigerators for plastic containers of pappardelli pasta from Alaska Pasta Company. If found, the product should be discarded or returned to the place of purchase. Individuals with soy allergies should avoid consuming the product.
