WASHINGTON, July 20, 2022 – MSI Express Inc., a Grand Prairie, Texas facility, is recalling approximately 16,498 pounds of chicken and rice soup mix products due to misbranding and an undeclared allergen, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service, FSIS ) announced today. The product contains milk, a known allergen, which is not declared on the product label.

The problem was discovered when the facility notified FSIS that it had validated allergen testing on ready-to-eat soup. The finished soup was found to have tested positive for dairy, an allergen not declared on the product label, due to the facility receiving an incorrect ingredient component.
