WASHINGTON, May 25, 2006 - Morgan Foods Inc., an Austin, Indiana,
establishment, is voluntarily recalling approximately 5,402 pounds of chicken soup due
to the presence of undeclared allergens (milk and soy), the U.S. Department of Agriculture's
Food Safety and Inspection Service announced today.
The product label indicates that the can contains chicken noodle soup; however, the can
contains cream of chicken soup. The cream of chicken soup contains milk and soy, known
allergens, which are not declared on the label.
The following product is subject to recall:
- 10.5-ounce cans of "VALU TIME, Condensed CHICKEN NOODLE SOUP." Each label
bears the establishment number "P-1469" inside the USDA seal of inspection. Each
can lid also bears the case code "XCMCC9 BESTBY01/03/08 A0306 (A)" and a number between 1600
and 1800 that indicates the time of production.

FOOD ALLERGIES
Consumers who have a food allergy, or severe food sensitivity, should always read ingredient labels. In restaurants, they should ask whether an allergy-causing ingredient is in the food.
A food allergy occurs when the immune system reacts to a certain food, usually within minutes after the food has been consumed.
Symptoms may include throat swelling, breathing trouble or a rash.
Strictly avoiding the allergy-causing food is the only absolute way to avoid a reaction.
Several foods account for 90% of allergic reactions. They include peanuts, tree nuts (walnuts, pecans, etc.), fish, shellfish, eggs, milk, soy, and wheat.
Persons who have a severe, life-threatening food allergy should always carry, and know how to administer, prescription epinephrine.
