PA Firm Recalls Rice Bowl Product with Incorrect Bottom Label Missing Allergens

A.S.K. Foods, LLC of Palmyra, PA is recalling select 32 oz. containers of Publix Rice & Pigeon Peas because it contains undeclared soy.   The recalled Publix Rice & Pigeon Peas was packaged in a plastic tray where the top label indicates Publix Rice & Pigeon Peas, Net Wt. 32 OZ (2 LB) 907, the bottom label has CAVATAPPI PASTA as the first ingredient and has a code on the lid of “5387-4”, “5387-5” or “5387-6”.

In this case, the bottom label was incorrect.  The top label, Rice and Pigeon Peas is correct.  The bottom label was for a pasta product.  While unsure whether the pic of the bottom label provided by FDA is the full bottom label, I can see there it would be difficult for the line operator to easily see if it is correct.  Regardless, an Allergen Preventive Controls in the form of procedures for ensuring proper labels is needed.
