Plain-English summary
Vanee Foods, a Broadview, Illinois establishment, is recalling approximately 9,564 pounds of chicken flavored base product due to misbranding and undeclared allergens. The product, labeled as chicken flavored base, may actually contain beef base, which includes soy and wheat—known allergens that are not declared on the product label. The affected items are 1-lb. plastic tubs labeled as "Sysco Classic Chicken Flavored Base" with lot code 02673, packaged in cases labeled as "Sysco Classic BEEF BASE CF" with the same lot code. These products were produced on July 26, 2023.
The recall was initiated after the company notified the USDA Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) that they shipped beef base product that may be incorrectly labeled as chicken flavored base. The product does not bear a USDA mark of inspection, though the cases do bear establishment number "EST. 19339" inside the USDA mark. The items were shipped to distributors in Pennsylvania, Texas, and Virginia for further distribution to restaurants.
There have been no confirmed reports of adverse reactions due to consumption of these products. Restaurants that have purchased these products are urged not to serve them and should throw them away or return them to the place of purchase. Consumers with questions can contact Vanee Foods or the USDA Meat and Poultry Hotline.
