Plain-English summary

Faribault Foods Inc. is recalling approximately 15,134 pounds of 14-oz. cans of “PROGRESSO ORGANIC CHICKEN NOODLE SOUP” due to misbranding and undeclared allergens. The product was produced on May 26, 2020, and bears establishment number “EST18826A.” The cans are labeled as chicken noodle soup but actually contain a meatball and pasta product. The product contains milk and soy, which are known allergens, as well as beef and pork, none of which are declared on the label.

The recall was initiated after the firm’s distributor notified the USDA Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) of consumer complaints stating that the soup contained meatballs and pasta instead of chicken and noodles. The affected items were shipped to retail locations nationwide. 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. Anyone concerned about an injury or illness should contact a healthcare provider.
