South Carolina firm, Nestle Prepared Foods Company, is voluntarily recalling 16,890 pounds of Stouffer’s lasagna frozen entrées because they contain peppers – an ingredient not indicated on the label. The peppers contain Worcestershire sauce made with anchovies, a common allergen that should have been declared on the product label but wasn’t.
According to the official press release, the following products were affected by the recall:
- 19 1/8-oz (542-g) cartons of “Stouffer’s Lasagna Italiano” with a “best before” date of “JAN 2014″
- Shipping cases of “Stouffer’s DS STFD Peppers,” each containing 12 cartons that may be labeled with “Stouffer’s Lasagna Italiano”
Each carton and case features the establishment number “EST. 7991.” The cartons and cases also feature the package codes “1349595513R” or “1349595513S.” No other package codes are affected by this recall. Additionally, each 19 1/8-oz. carton contains an identifying retail UPC code “13800 44709.”
The press release also indicates that the products were “produced on Dec. 15, 2011, and were shipped to retail establishments east of the Mississippi River.”
