Food safety recall round-up 11-17 August 2017
Packing error prompts recall due to allergen risk
US: Luvo Inc. (USA) is recalling 4,805 pounds of poultry due to misbranding and undeclared allergens.
Products are mislabeled as Chicken Chile Verde that contain milk and soy but contain Turkey Meatloaf, which has other allergens, eggs and fish (anchovies), not declared on the label.
They were produced on 13 June and shipped to distributors in California, Florida, Indiana, Iowa, Missouri, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Texas, Virginia and Wisconsin for further distribution.
10 oz. retail cartons containing “LUVO Steam in Pouch A Little Spice Chicken Chile Verde with white chicken, black beans, and polenta” with lot code: 2018JUN13A and best before date June 13, 2018 are involved.
The problem was discovered after the firm received consumer complaints of the wrong meal inside the retail boxes but there have been no confirmed reports of adverse reactions.
