What this means for you
Illness, injury, or structural failure has been reported. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.
Our severity reasoning: The recall is classified as USDA Class I, which indicates a reasonable probability that the use of, or exposure to, the regulated product will cause serious adverse health consequences or death. The presence of undeclared major allergens (milk and eggs) in a foodservice product supports this high-risk classification.
Plain-English summary
Kraft Heinz Foods Company is recalling approximately 13,504 pounds of frozen foodservice soup products due to misbranding and undeclared allergens. The specific product involved is 4-lb. tubs of Chef Francisco Minestrone Condensed Soup that were incorrectly labeled as Chef Francisco Vegetable Beef and Barley Condensed Soup. These tubs were distributed in 16-lb. cases with the same incorrect labeling. The product bears the lot code LD28120FT1 and establishment number EST. 15818A.
The recall was initiated after foodservice customers complained that the product labeled as vegetable beef and barley soup actually contained minestrone soup. The minestrone soup contains milk and eggs, which are known allergens not declared on the label. The product was produced on October 7, 2020, and shipped to hotels, restaurants, and institutions nationwide.
There have been no confirmed reports of adverse reactions due to consumption of this product. FSIS urges hotels, restaurants, and institutions to check their freezers for this product and not to serve it. The product should be thrown away or returned to the place of purchase. Consumers with questions can contact Kraft Heinz Consumer Relations at (855) 265-7238 or the USDA Meat and Poultry Hotline at 1-888-674-6854.
