Why was Grandma Belle's Tomato Basil Soup, Net Wt. 17 oz. (482g) recalled?
According to the FDA, the stated reason for the recall is: “Undeclared allergen - milk.” In plain terms, this recall relates to an undeclared ingredient or allergen.
An undeclared ingredient means a food contains something — often a major allergen such as milk, eggs, soy, wheat, peanuts, or tree nuts — that is not listed on the label. For most people this is not dangerous, but for someone with a food allergy or sensitivity it can trigger a serious reaction. Accurate labeling is required so that people can avoid ingredients they need to stay away from.
