Faribault Foods Inc., based in Faribault, Minn., is recalling about 15,134 pounds of canned soup product due to misbranding and undeclared allergens, the USDA’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) announced. The product contains milk and soy, known allergens, as well as beef and pork, which are not declared on the product label.
The cans labeled as chicken noodle soup actually contain a meatball and pasta product. The canned soup items were produced on May 26, 2020. The products subject to recall are 14-oz. cans of “PROGRESSO ORGANIC CHICKEN NOODLE SOUP” with a best by date of “BestByMAY262022” printed on the bottom of the can and a best by date of “09JUN2022” printed on the product case.
The products subject to recall bear establishment number “EST18826A” printed on the bottom of the can under the best by date. These items were shipped to retail locations nationwide.
The problem was discovered when the firm’s distributor notified FSIS of consumer complaints that the soup contained meatballs and pasta instead of chicken and noodles. There have been no confirmed reports of adverse reactions due to consumption of these products.
