Plain-English summary
St. Clair Foods, Inc., a Memphis, Tennessee establishment, is recalling approximately 26,800 pounds of chicken and dumplings due to misbranding and an undeclared allergen. The products contain milk, a known allergen, which was not declared on the product label. The recall involves 5-lb. and 2-lb. plastic sealed packages of St. Clair Foods Chicken and Dumplings, as well as 5-lb. packages of Ron's Homestyle Foods Chicken and Dumplings, bearing specific package codes and establishment number EST-6568.
The products were produced between September 13 and October 6, 2016. They were shipped to food service warehouses and distributed for institutional use in Alabama, Arkansas, Kentucky, Mississippi, Tennessee, and Texas. The issue was discovered by the establishment on October 20, 2016, during a review of product specifications, after the establishment learned that an ingredient supplier had added milk to the dumplings without prior notification.
There have been no confirmed reports of injury, illness, or adverse reactions due to consumption of these products. Consumers who have purchased these products are urged not to consume them and should throw them away or return them to the place of purchase.
