General Mills Issues Voluntary Class One Recall Involving One Dayâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]s Production of Progresso Hearty Tomato Soup

Contact:
Tom Forsythe
763-764-6364

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE -- Minneapolis, Minn., October 31, 2008 – General Mills is voluntarily recalling a single day's production of Progresso Hearty Tomato soup because of a product labeling issue. Product produced on this date may have been mislabeled, and may contain allergens not listed on the ingredient label, specifically egg, milk, and soy.

There have been no reports of allergic reactions or illnesses associated with this product, however, the possibility of unlabeled allergens makes this a Class One recall.

This voluntary recall includes only 19-ounce Progresso Hearty Tomato soup with the following code date printed on the bottom of the can:

19May10 NV VN-3

A production error resulted in a limited number of cases of Progresso Light Vegetable and Noodle soup being mislabeled as Progresso Hearty Tomato soup. Mislabeled cans have the code date 19May10 NV VN-3 on the bottom of the can, but are mislabeled as Progresso Hearty Tomato soup.

The mislabeled soups contain a product that is visibly different from the soup depicted on the label. Rather than containing Progresso Hearty Tomato soup, a mislabeled can would actually contain Progresso Light Vegetable and Noodle soup. Consumers allergic to egg, milk or soy products, or who are unsure of whether they are allergic to egg, milk or soy products, should not consume product with a Progresso Hearty Tomato label bearing the code date 19May10 NV VN-3 on the bottom of the can, and should contact General Mills for replacement or a full refund.

No other varieties or production dates of Progresso soup are affected by this recall.

Consumers requesting refunds or calling with further questions should contact General Mills Consumer Services at 1-800-200-9377.

I'll make the explanation more difficult then it should be so here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RSS_Feed


It seems that the FDA has been vigilant lately. There's new regulations and some things aren't being allowed to slip like they were before.

It means, "Oops, we made some perfectly good vegetable soup, labeled it with some perfectly good tomato soup labels, but people are so litigious that we're afraid we'll be sued when someone discovers the mistake and eats it anyway that we're recalling all the perfectly good food. Take it back to the store, who will be afraid to donate it to any food banks for fear of being sued and who will crush it and put the whole mess in a landfill somewhere.

Oh, and if you're allergic to anything in normal vegetable soup, you'll be allergic to this vegetable soup, too."

There, is that clear enough?
