Ohio Establishment Recalling RTE Chili Topping Due to Undeclared Soy

J.T.M. Provisions Company, a Harrison, Ohio establishment, is recalling approximately 200 pounds of ready-to-eat (RTE) chili topping product due to misbranding and an undeclared allergen - the product labeled as chili topping may actually contain beef taco filling, which contains soy, a known allergen, that is not declared on the product label.  The problem was discovered when the producing establishment notified FSIS that it had received a consumer complaint that bags labeled as homestyle chili topping contained beef taco filling.
