Summary

Kraft Heinz Foods Company is recalling approximately 13,504 pounds of frozen foodservice soup because of a labeling error. 4-lb tubs of "Chef Francisco Minestrone Condensed Soup" were mistakenly labeled as "Vegetable Beef and Barley Condensed Soup." This error means the product contains milk and eggs that are not listed on the label, which can cause serious allergic reactions. This product was shipped to hotels, restaurants, and institutions across the country.
