Plain-English summary

American Outdoor Products, a Boulder, Colorado establishment, is recalling approximately 633 pounds of dehydrated Fettuccini Alfredo with Chicken. The recall is due to misbranding and undeclared allergens. The products are 7.5-oz. foil pouches of iBackpackers Pantry Fettuccini Alfredo with Chicken” produced on July 2, 2013. The pouches bear the product code i07/02/2020” and establishment number iP-4933”.

The products were formulated with milk and wheat, which are known allergens, but these ingredients are not declared on the product label. The error occurred because the wrong back panel was placed into the labeling machine, resulting in a label for a different product (Jamaican Jerk style rice with chicken) being printed on the backside. This could cause consumer confusion regarding the actual ingredients. The products were sold wholesale, online, and to retail establishments nationwide.

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 Elaine Sims at (303) 800-1404 or via e-mail at [email protected]. Anyone concerned about a reaction should contact a healthcare provider.
