US soup maker Campbell Soup has voluntarily recalled around 56,000 pounds of canned soup that may be contaminated with an undeclared allergen, the US Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service has announced.


The products being recalled are 18.6-ounce cans labelled “Campbell’s Select, Ready to Serve Soup, Italian Sausage with Pasta and Pepperoni, NEW.” The recalled soup may contain cheese that is not declared on the label.


The product was produced on 11 December 2002, and was distributed to Costco retail stores in Alaska, Idaho, Montana, Oregon, Texas, Utah and Washington.


“We urge consumers to check their cabinets,” said Dr. Garry McKee, FSIS administrator. “Consumers who are allergic to cheese products should not eat this product but should return it to the place of purchase.”


The problem was discovered by company officials who then notified FSIS.
