This Week in Mislabeled Product - Week Ending 3/23/18

Egg Missing from Cole Slaw Label - Weis Markets today issued a recall for its store-made Weis Quality Cole Slaw (one pound container) for failing to list egg as an allergen on its label. This item was made in the seafood department.  [Incorrect addition of ingredients into label printer].

Labels Incorrect for 2 Years- Piggie Park Enterprises Inc. is recalling Gourmet Carolina Gold Honey Sauce manufactured in the past two years (March 11, 2016 thru March 11, 2018), because it contains undeclared wheat and soy.
The recall was initiated after it was discovered that the powdered honey used in making the Gourmet Carolina Gold Honey Sauce contains wheat and soy, and it was not properly disclosed on the ingredients labels. The company is also recalling Maurice’s Southern Gold BBQ Sauce Honey manufactured in the past two years (March 11, 2016 thru March 11, 2018), because it contains undeclared wheat and soy.   [Labels made incorrectly and mistake not caught for over two years].

Application of Wrong Label at End of Shift - Vietti Foods is recalling approximately 200 cases of 15 oz cans of Southgate Hot Dog Chili Sauce,due to mislabeling because some of the cans may contain Dumplings with Chicken instead of Hot Dog Chili Sauce, thus missing allergens. The recall was initiated after it was discovered that the cans labeled as Southgate Hot Dog Sauce contain Chicken and Dumplings that have wheat and egg which are allergens not listed on the label. Subsequent investigation indicates the problem was caused by a mislabeling of cans at the end of a production run and has not affected any other product.  [Production issue in that proper label was not applied - sounds like a good spot for an allergen preventive control].
