Plain-English summary
Walker's Food Products Co. of North Kansas City, Missouri, is recalling approximately 2,446 pounds of chicken salad products due to misbranding and an undeclared allergen. The products contain soy protein concentrate, a known allergen, which was not properly declared on the labels. The issue was discovered by an FSIS in-plant inspector during a routine label review after a change in product suppliers occurred without a corresponding label update.
The recall includes 5-lb. and 1-lb. plastic tubs of Walker's All White Chunky Chicken Salad and 5-lb. tubs of Walker's White Chicken Salad Florentine. Packaging dates range from June 6, 2013, to January 27, 2014. The products were sold to wholesale and retail locations in Illinois, Kansas, Missouri, and Oklahoma. All affected products bear the establishment number P-13335 inside the USDA Mark of Inspection.
FSIS and the company have received no reports of adverse reactions from consuming these products. However, for individuals allergic to soy, consumption of soy protein concentrate presents a reasonable probability of serious health consequences or death. Consumers with questions should contact Walker's Food Products Co. at (816) 472-8121, ext. 15, or the USDA Meat and Poultry Hotline at 1-888-674-6854.
