Plain-English summary

Fresh Food Manufacturing, a Freedom, Pennsylvania establishment, is recalling approximately 1,008 pounds of 24-ounce cups of Giant Eagle Market District Italian Style Wedding Soup. The recall was initiated due to misbranding and undeclared allergens. The soup contains soy and egg, which are known allergens not listed on the product label.

The error occurred because the ingredients panel on the back of the soup cup was taken from a chili product produced at the same facility. The chili label does not list soy and egg, which are ingredients in the Italian Style Wedding Soup. The affected product bears the establishment number EST. 40211 inside the USDA mark of inspection and was produced on October 9, 2014. It was shipped to retail stores in Ohio and Pennsylvania.

The issue was discovered when a store employee noticed that the back label was different from other labels on the product. FSIS and the company have received no reports of adverse reactions due to consumption of this product. Consumers with questions about the recall can contact Giant Eagle Customer Care at 1-800-553-2324, Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. Eastern time.
