The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s (USDA’s) Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) reports that Campbell Soup Company has recalled 4,185 pounds of its “Campbell’s Homestyle Healthy Request Chicken with Whole Grain Pasta” soup products because the soup may contain undeclared milk allergens. Campbell Soup Company is headquartered in Maxton, North Carolina.
Campbell Soup Company issued this recall after April 20, 2017, when they were apprised of multiple consumer complaints that soup cans labelled as “Campbell’s Homestyle Healthy Request Chicken with Whole Grain Pasta” were accidentally filled with “Campbell’s Homestyle Health Request Italian-Style Wedding Spinach & Meatballs in Chicken Broth” soup. The latter product contains milk allergens that were not declared on the packaging.
The affected soup products were produced on February 13, 2016, and packaged in 18.6-ounce cans labelled “Campbell’s Homestyle Health Request Chicken with Whole Grain Pasta.” The bottoms of these cans are stamped with a “Best By” date of Feb. 13, 2019 and the establishment number “EST. 4R.” They were shipped to Publix retail locations in the state of Florida.
This recall is a “Class 1” / “High Health Risk” recall. People who are allergic to milk may experience life-threatening illness or death if they consume the potentially compromised soup products. Those who bought the affected cans should throw them away or return them to their place of purchase for a refund.
