What this means for you

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves allergen mislabeling on a common allergen (soy), which corresponds to a severity score of 3 according to the rubric.

Plain-English summary

Alaska Pasta Company is voluntarily recalling refrigerated penne pasta due to the presence of undeclared soy lecithin. The product is packaged in plastic containers and is not intended for retail sale. The containers are marked with the customer name, date of production, and weight in pounds, with some displaying the company name.

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 mislabeling poses a risk to consumers with soy allergies.

The affected product was distributed only in Alaska. Consumers who have purchased this product should check their labels for the absence of soy or soy lecithin declarations and contact the manufacturer for further instructions.
