Soup Recall Alert: Rao’s Labeling Mishap – Are You Affected?
In a recent announcement, the popular food company Rao’s has issued a voluntary recall of one of their soups due to a labeling mishap. The incident involves their 16-ounces “Italian Wedding” soup products with a product code GN12CO and a best by date of 5/22/2023. This recall affects only that specific product and not any other Rao’s products.
The issue with the label is related to the omission of wheat, an allergen, as one of the ingredients in their listed items. As a result, individuals who might have an allergy or sensitivity to wheat are at risk if they consume this product unknowingly. It is important for those individuals who have already purchased the affected product and have a wheat allergy to refrain from consuming it.
Fortunately, no reports of illness or injury related to this labeling mistake have been reported at this time. The company is diligently working on rectifying the problem and ensuring that any affected products are removed from store shelves or returned by customers immediately.
For those who have purchased the affected Rao’s “Italian Wedding” soup products, the company suggests returning the item to the place of purchase for a full refund. Moreover, customers can contact the company with any concerns or queries through their customer service hotline.
It is essential for customers who suffer from food allergies or sensitivities to always examine product labels before consumption carefully. This precaution will help consumers avoid unforeseen health issues or allergic reactions resulting from ingredient mislabeling or omissions such as that experienced by Rao’s.
