Pike Place Chowder Recalled for Undeclared Wheat and Gluten-Free Mislabeling

Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Northwest Gourmet Food Products Inc. is recalling 426 units of Pike Place Chowder brand Smoked Salmon Chowder and New England Clam Chowder because the outer packaging is incorrectly labeled as 'Gluten Free.' While the outer boxes claim they are gluten-free, the inner pouches correctly identify that the products contain wheat. This error was discovered when a discrepancy was found between the internal pouch and the external retail box, which could lead consumers with wheat allergies or celiac disease to believe the product is safe for them to eat.

Risk

Consumers with an allergy or severe sensitivity to wheat or gluten run the risk of a serious or life-threatening allergic reaction if they consume these products. No illnesses have been reported to date.
