WASHINGTON, March 6, 2013 –Summer Garden
Food Manufacturing, a Boardman, Ohio, establishment, is
recalling approximately 25,000 lbs. of Bolognese sauce products
because of undeclared allergens and misbranding. The products
contain soy, wheat and MSG that are not declared on the label.
Soy and wheat are known allergens.
The following products are subject to recall: [Labels]
- 24-oz. jars of “Giant Eagle Market District Bolognese
Pasta Sauce” bearing the establishment number “EST. 34795”
inside the USDA mark of inspection and bearing “Best By
12/05/2014 or 02/06/2015” on the lid.
The products were produced on Dec. 5, 2012, and Feb. 6, 2013,
and shipped to distributors in Ohio and Pennsylvania for further
retail sales.
The problem was discovered by the company during a quality
control label review. The company then notified FSIS that the
subcomponents of the cooked seasoned shredded beef were not
included on the pasta sauce label. The subcomponents of the beef
in the Bolognese sauce include soy, wheat and MSG. 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 health care provider.
FSIS routinely conducts recall effectiveness checks to verify
recalling firms notify their customers of the recall and to
ensure that steps are taken to make certain that the product is
no longer available to consumers.
Consumers and members of the media with questions about the
recall should contact Yvonne St. Pierre, the company’s
Receptionist/Administrative Clerk, at (330) 743-6050 extension
1100.
