It’s not just the fact that the wrong soup was packaged in the vegetable beef and barley condensed soup containers that prompted the recall. The FSIS reports that the minestrone soup inside the containers contains both milk and eggs, two of the most common food allergens, neither of which are disclosed on the vegetable beef and barley soup’s ingredients list. As two of the “Big 8” allergens, both milk and eggs must be identified on food products subject to FDA inspection, as specified by the Food Allergen Labeling And Consumer Protection Act of 2004. While there have been no reports of illness or other adverse reactions associated with the consumption of the recalled soup, the FSIS recommends that businesses should stop serving the soup to customers, and that it should be “thrown away or returned to the place of purchase.” Anyone with questions about the recall can also contact The Kraft Heinz Foods Company Consumer Relations Hotline at (855) 265-7238.
