WASHINGTON, March 17, 2011 -Kashi, of La Jolla,
Calif., is recalling approximately 2,790 pounds of Kashi
Southwest Style Chicken products because the packages may
instead contain Kashi Chicken Pasta Pomodoro, which contains an
undeclared allergen, egg, the U.S. Department of Agriculture's
Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) announced today. Egg
is a known allergen, which may not be declared on the label.
The products subject to recall include: [View Label

- 10 oz. "Kashi Southwest Style Chicken" entrees marked
with UPC Code 1862729292 and bear a lot code of DEC28 11 RF
B1.
Retailers should look for products labeled:
- 8-count cases containing 10 oz. packages of "Kashi Chicken Pasta Pomodoro" which bear lot codes "DEC 28 2011 RF B1 06:00" through "DEC 28 2011 RF B1 08:00".
The individual packages are labeled "Keep Frozen" and bear
the establishment number "P-17644" inside the mark of
inspection. Request Foods, Inc., a Holland, Mich.,
establishment, produced the chicken entrees for Kashi on
December 28, 2010 and the products were shipped to retailers
nationwide. The problem was discovered through customer
complaints to Kashi when the packaged product did not appear to
be correctly labeled.
It was determined that product may have been incorrectly
packaged at the end of a production run. FSIS and the company
have received no reports of adverse reactions due to consumption
of these products. Anyone concerned about an allergic reaction
should contact a health care provider.
FSIS routinely conducts recall effectiveness checks to verify
recalling firms notify their customers of the recall and that
steps are taken to make certain that the product is no longer
available to consumers.
Consumers with questions about the recall may contact the Kashi
Consumer Response Center at (877) 864-3523 from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m.
Eastern time, or visit
www.kashi.com. Members of the media with questions should
contact the Kashi Media Hotline at (269) 961-3799 or
mediarelations@kashi.com.
Consumers with food safety questions can "Ask Karen," the FSIS
virtual representative available 24 hours a day at
AskKaren.gov. The toll-free
USDA Meat and Poultry Hotline 1-888-MPHotline (1-888-674-6854)

a.m. to 4 p.m. (Eastern Time) Monday through Friday. Recorded
food safety messages are available 24 hours a day. |
