Plain-English summary

Truitt Brothers Inc., an establishment in East Bernstadt, Kentucky, is recalling approximately 1.77 million pounds of shelf-stable pasta and ground beef products. The specific product involved is the 3.3-pound case containing six 9-ounce microwaveable containers of Kraft Velveeta Cheesy Skillets Singles Ultimate Cheeseburger Mac. These products were produced between May 6, 2013, and January 16, 2014, and shipped to Kraft Foods distribution centers and retail locations nationwide.

The recall was initiated because the products are formulated with hydrolyzed soy protein and dried soy sauce, which are known allergens, but these ingredients are not declared on some labels. The company discovered the issue during a routine quality check and believes a label supplier inadvertently mixed labels with incorrect ingredient lines with those containing correct information. No other Velveeta or Kraft products are impacted by this recall.

FSIS and the company have received no reports of adverse reactions due to consumption of these products. Consumers with questions about the recall should contact the Kraft Foods Consumer Relations Center at 1-800-396-5512. Anyone concerned about a reaction should contact a healthcare provider.
