Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Vanee Foods is recalling approximately 3,156 pounds of Imperial Sysco Turkey Base that was mistakenly packaged in containers labeled as Chicken Base. This error means the product contains milk, which is a known allergen not listed on the Chicken Base label. These 1-pound tubs were produced in March 2014 and shipped to food service distribution centers in several states. Consumers should return the product to the place of purchase for a full refund.

Risk

The product contains milk, which is not declared on the label because turkey base was mistakenly put into chicken base containers. This poses a serious or life-threatening risk of a severe allergic reaction for people with a milk allergy or sensitivity.

What You Should Do

  1. Check your pantry or food storage for 1-lb. tubs of Imperial Sysco Chicken Base with SUPC # 4944450 and case codes 01734-6700 ending in 0784-5.
  2. Look for establishment number 'iP-19339' inside the USDA mark of inspection on the product tub or outer case.
  3. Immediately stop using the product if you have a milk allergy or sensitivity.
  4. Return the product to the place of purchase for a full refund or contact Vanee Foods for further instructions.
  5. For questions regarding the recall, contact Alex Vanee, Vice President of Operations, at (708) 236-7021.
  6. For additional food safety concerns, call the USDA Meat and Poultry Hotline at 1-888-674-6854.
