This Week in Mislabeled Products - Week Ending 1/26/18

Eggs not on Label - Perdue Foods LLC, a Monterey, Tenn. establishment, is recalling approximately 530 pounds of chicken products due to misbranding and undeclared allergens -the product contains eggs which is not declared on the product label. The problem was discovered by the firm while performing routine label verification activities.

Supplier Mislabels Protein Source - Bulletproof 360, Inc. is voluntarily recalling one lot #1017088 of Bulletproof Collagen Protein dietary supplement due to undeclared milk.  This voluntary recall was initiated after we discovered that bulk whey (milk) protein was mis-labeled as collagen protein by our third-party manufacturer during the manufacturing process. 

Wrong Label Applied - Sun Noodle of Carlstadt, NJ is voluntarily recalling one lot of their retail Tonkotsu Ramen because it is mis-labeled. While it is labeled Tonkotsu, the actual flavor packet inside is Assari Shoyu, which contains an additional undeclared allergen of fish (sardines).  The decision to recall this product was initiated after it was discovered that the product had the wrong label applied to the product, and did not accurately represent what was packaged. Subsequent investigation indicated that the problem was caused by mis-labeling of the product at the New Jersey facility.

Allergens and Colors Missing from Label - A Puerto Rico company is collecting the following PACHECO brand products because they may contain undeclared allergens (Wheat, Soy, Egg, Milk) and artificial colors not listed in ingredients (Red # 40, Yellow # 5, Yellow # 6.)

WASHINGTON, January 23, 2018 – Perdue Foods LLC, a Monterey, Tenn. establishment, is recalling approximately 530 pounds of chicken products due to misbranding and undeclared allergens, the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) announced today. The product contains eggs, a known allergen which is not declared on the product label.

The ready-to-cook chicken breast tenderloin fritters were inadvertently labeled with the Homestyle Chicken Tender Fritter label. The chicken breast tenderloin fritters contain egg whites and the Homestyle Chicken Tender Fritters do not. The ready-to-cook chicken tenderloin fritter items were produced on December 6, 2017. The following products are subject to recall: [View Label]
•10-lb. boxes containing two 5 lb. plastic bags with the box labeled “CHEF REDI HOMESTYLE CHICKEN TENDER FRITTER, RTC – LARGE” with the case code of 7374.

The products subject to recall bear establishment number “P-11507” inside the USDA mark of inspection. These items were shipped to food service locations in Florida, Maryland and Washington D.C.                   

The problem was discovered by the firm while performing routine label verification activities.

There have been no confirmed reports of adverse reactions due to consumption of these products. Anyone concerned about an injury or illness should contact a healthcare provider. 

Consumers who have purchased these products are urged not to consume them. These products should be thrown away or returned to the place of purchase.

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. When available, the retail distribution list(s) will be posted on the FSIS website at www.fsis.usda.gov/recalls.

Affected Bulletproof Collagen Protein was sold directly to distributors in CA, CO, CT, FL, GA, IA, IN, NH, NY, OR, PA, SC, TX, WA, WI and product has been further distributed to retail stores nationwide.

Sun Noodle of Carlstadt, NJ is voluntarily recalling one lot of their retail Tonkotsu Ramen because it is mis-labeled. While it is labeled Tonkotsu, the actual flavor packet inside is Assari Shoyu, which contains an additional undeclared allergen of fish (sardines). Our concern is for those individuals who have an allergy or severe sensitivity to fish (sardines). They run the risk of a serious or life-threatening allergic reaction if they consume this product.

Only one lot of Tonkotsu Ramen was mislabeled, and was primarily sent to Asian food distributors in the New Jersey, Georgia, Illinois, Texas, and New York areas, and then on to retail stores. The product is packaged in a clear plastic clamshell, banded with a Sun Noodle label that reads "Tonkotsu Ramen." The affected product contains 2 purple and white soup base packets, which correctly show the name "Assari Shoyu" flavor. The products affected by the recall are labeled with lot code 3217332.

No illnesses have been reported to date, and all affected product has already been removed from store shelves. We are sending out this release to alert any retail customers who may not have heard about it.

The decision to recall this product was initiated after it was discovered that the product had the wrong label applied to the product, and did not accurately represent what was packaged. Subsequent investigation indicated that the problem was caused by mis-labeling of the product at the New Jersey facility.

Note that only one particular lot of Tonkotsu Ramen was mislabeled. All other lots of Tonkotsu Ramen and all other products manufactured at other Sun Noodle locations are properly packed and labeled.

Consumers who have purchased any of the affected lot of Tonkotsu Ramen are urged to return the product to the original location of the purchase for a full refund.
