Labeling error forces recall at Whole Food Markets

Rip Roarin’ Crab Soup byBlount Fine Foods is being pulled of the shelves at Eastern Coast Whole Foods Markets due to undeclared allergens.  The food label attached to the back of the soup container indicates the contents in error as Manhattan Clam Chowder. The product food content label does not list milk, crab and wheat as ingredients. People sensitive or allergic to these specific allergens can experience a very serious reaction if unknowingly ingested.

The product is packed in 16-ounce plastic tubs and is marked with a product code of 71116 / Lot No. 1202117D.  The Use or Freeze by date is February 10, 2012.

Products with these codes and date should not use the soup, but return it to the location of purchase for a refund.  Blount Fine Foods can be contacted via phone at 800-274-2526, or through their website at www.blountfinefoods.com.
