WASHINGTON, Feb. 4, 2014 ConAgra Foods, a Milton, Pa. establishment, is recalling approximately 54,673 pounds of chicken noodle soup products due to misbranding and undeclared allergens, the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) announced today. The product is formulated with wheat and egg, known allergens, which are not declared on the label. However, the product was released with a iHealthy Choice Chicken with Rice” soup label, which does not declare the allergens.
