Plain-English summary
The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) issued a public health alert for Signature CAFÉ Chicken Noodle Soup with White Meat Chicken produced by The Vons Companies, Inc. The 24-oz. plastic containers are subject to the alert because they contain and declare wheat as an ingredient but incorrectly state "gluten free" on the top label. The affected products bear establishment number EST 46381 and have best-by dates of April 27, 2021, May 2, 2021, May 8, 2021, and May 16, 2021.
The products were sold in retail locations in Alaska, Arizona, California, Hawaii, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, Oregon, Utah, Washington, and Wyoming. FSIS noted that a formal recall was not requested because the products were produced and distributed among retail locations within the same corporate entity and sold directly to consumers. It is believed that these products are no longer available for purchase, but some may remain in consumers' refrigerators.
Consumers with food allergies, specifically those with allergic reactions to gluten, are urged not to consume these products. Anyone concerned about an illness should contact a health care provider. Consumers who have purchased these products should throw them away or return them to the place of purchase.
