Plain-English summary
Blount Fine Foods, a Fall River, Massachusetts establishment, is recalling approximately 720 pounds of Chicken Tortilla Soup products. The recall was issued due to misbranding and the presence of an undeclared allergen. The products contain wheat, a known allergen, which is not declared on the product label. Additionally, some items labeled as Chicken Tortilla Soup may actually contain Southwest Style Corn Chowder, which also contains wheat.
The affected products were produced on April 25, 2018. The specific items subject to recall are cases of four 4-pound bags of Blount Fine Foods Chicken Tortilla Soup, labeled "For Institutional Use Only." These cases bear the Lot Code 04251819C and a Use By date of 07/24/2018. The products bear establishment number P-19449A inside the USDA mark of inspection. The items were shipped to distribution centers for further distribution in Connecticut, Massachusetts, and New Jersey.
The issue was discovered on May 14, 2018, when the firm received a customer complaint stating that a master container labeled as Chicken Tortilla Soup contained a different product, Southwest Style Corn Chowder. There have been no confirmed reports of adverse reactions due to consumption of these products. Consumers with food safety questions can contact the USDA Meat and Poultry Hotline or visit AskKaren.gov.
