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.
What should you do?
If you think you may have bought • 16-oz. (1 LB) or various weight (larger than 16-oz.) vacuum-seale…, compare it against the product description and identifying codes before using it.
The general guidance for a matching product is to stop using it and follow the instructions in the official USDA recall notice, which may include a repair, replacement, refund, or safe disposal. When in doubt, contact Ralph's Packing Company or your local health authority.
