Plain-English summary

B. Robert's Foods, a Charlotte, North Carolina establishment, is recalling approximately 4,474 pounds of chicken noodle soup. The recall is due to misbranding and an undeclared allergen. The product is formulated with egg, a known allergen, but was released with a side label for "Harris Teeter Fresh Foods Market Chef's Recipe Chicken and Wild Rice Soup," which does not declare the presence of egg.

The affected items are 16-oz. (454g) refrigerated packages produced on December 12, 2014. They bear the establishment number P-19198 inside the USDA mark of inspection. The products were distributed to grocery stores in Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Maryland, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia, and Washington, D.C.

A grocery store employee discovered the incorrect labeling and reported the error to B. Robert's Foods. FSIS and the company have received no reports of adverse reactions due to consumption of these products. Consumers with questions can contact B. Robert's Foods Quality Assurance Manager Antonio Gilges at (704) 944-5311 or the USDA Meat and Poultry Hotline at 1-888-674-6854.
