What this means for you

Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 3/5 (High).

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves allergen mislabeling on a common allergen (egg) without reported illness, which meets the criteria for a High severity score.

Plain-English summary

The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) issued a public health alert for Nurture Life’s Chicken Parm with Super Veggie Spaghetti meal products. The alert was issued because the product’s spaghetti component contains egg white, a known allergen, which is not declared on the product label. This misbranding poses a risk to consumers with an allergy to egg.

The affected product is a 5.9-oz. tray with a sleeve label containing “nurture life KIDS MEALS CHICKEN PARM WITH SUPER VEGGIE SPAGHETTI” with “enjoy by” dates ranging from Jan. 9, 2024, to March 1, 2024. These fully cooked, not shelf-stable chicken meals were produced between Dec. 27, 2023, and Feb. 20, 2024. The items were sold online and shipped directly to consumers nationwide. The packaging does not have a USDA mark of inspection.

FSIS discovered the issue when the firm reported that egg was not declared on the label during an internal audit. There have been no confirmed reports of adverse reactions due to consumption of this product. Because the affected product is no longer available for purchase, a formal recall was not requested. Consumers who have purchased this product are urged not to consume it and should throw it away or return it to the place of purchase.
