Stefano Foods, an establishment based in North Carolina, US, is recalling approximately 3,744 pounds of a chicken quesadilla product because of misbranding and an undeclared allergen.
The product contains isolated soy protein, a known allergen, which is not declared on the label, according to the US Department of Agriculture's Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS).
The following products are being recalled: 18-lb. cases, each containing 12, "QUESADILLA CHICK INS 12/24OZ," with an identifying case code of "F2829" and use by date of 03/31/2013.
The products bear the establishment number EST. P-19140 inside the USDA mark of inspection. They were produced on 3 August 2012, and shipped to a distributor in Georgia for further sale at retail locations.
FSIS noted that the problem was identified by the company during a routine internal audit and may have occurred as a result of a change in the chicken and spice mix used in the product. FSIS and the company have received no reports of adverse reactions due to consumption of these products. Anyone concerned about a reaction should contact a healthcare provider.
This recall has been classified as Class II, which indicates a health hazard situation where there is a remote probability of adverse health consequences from the use of the product.
