Plain-English summary

Bellisio Foods, Inc. is recalling approximately 3,927 pounds of not-ready-to-eat (NRTE) spaghetti with meat sauce products. The recall was initiated because the product contains soy, a known allergen, which is not declared on the product label. This constitutes misbranding and an undeclared allergen hazard.

The affected product is the 8.5-oz paperboard tray with lid packages containing “Michelina’s Spaghetti with Meat Sauce” with lot code J1112N8, “BEST BY 22APR2022”, and a UPC code of “7 17854 10503 9”. These items were produced on April 22, 2021, and shipped to retail locations nationwide. The issue was discovered when the company determined that soy-containing ingredients may have comeled with the recalled product, which does not normally contain soy.

There have been no confirmed reports of adverse reactions due to consumption of these products. Consumers who have purchased these products are urged not to consume them. The products should be thrown away or returned to the place of purchase. Consumers with questions can contact Bellisio Foods at (800) 446-5469 or the USDA Meat and Poultry Hotline at 1-888-674-6854.
