Summary

The Vons Companies, Inc. is issuing a public health alert for approximately 24-ounce plastic containers of Signature CAFÉ Chicken Noodle Soup with White Meat Chicken. The product is misbranded because it is labeled as "gluten free" despite containing wheat, which is a known allergen. This issue was discovered when a retail store notified the company of the labeling error.

Risk

Consumers with a wheat allergy or gluten sensitivity may experience a serious or life-threatening allergic reaction if they consume this product. While no illnesses have been reported, the presence of undeclared wheat poses a high risk to sensitive individuals.
