Traditions, a Pearl, Miss., establishment, is recalling 2,486 pounds of frozen chicken meals because of misbranding and an undeclared allergen, the USDA's Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) announced today.
The products contain milk, a known allergen, which is not declared on the label.

Products subject to recall include a three-compartment tray containing “Lemon Pepper Chicken Breast Filet with Rib Meat Smoke Flavor Added / Mixed Vegetables / Basil and Garlic Fettuccine” bearing the establishment number “P-13850” inside the USDA mark of inspection. The products were produced and packaged on Oct. 5, 2012, Dec 19, 2012 and Jan. 28, 2013.

The Pearl, Miss.-based company distributed the products to food service institutions nationwide.

The problem was discovered by the firm during a routine label review. Milk is a subingredient of butter flavoring used in the product. The problem occurred after a change in formulation which resulted in milk being omitted from the label. FSIS and the company have received no reports of adverse reactions due to consumption of these products
