The Department of Licensing and Consumer Affairs has notified the public that on Tuesday, August 18, the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) announced that Fairbult Foods Inc., a Fairbult Minnesota establishment, recalled approximately 15,000 of canned soup product due to misbranding and undeclared allergens.
The cans labeled as chicken noodle soup actually contain a meatball and pasta product, DLCA said. The canned soup items were produced on May 26, 2020 and bear an establishment number “EST18826A” printed on the bottom of the can under the best by date. These items were shipped to retail locations nationwide. The following products are subject to recall:
- 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 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, DLCA said. There have been no confirmed reports of adverse reactions due to consumption of these products.
