Allergens are a major cause of food recalls in the United States and can be devastating to a company. However, there are several things you can do to minimize the chance of your products being involved in an allergen recall.

The products contain eggs, a known allergen, which was not declared on the product label.

A recall was not requested because it is believed that the products are no longer available for consumers to purchase.

To protect consumers, the USDA's Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) strongly encourages meat processors to utilize label declarations for products containing any of the eight major food allergens (milk, eggs, fish, crustacean shellfish, tree nuts, peanuts, wheat and soybeans).

136 pounds of salad products contain pine nuts, a known allergen.

The products contain soy, a known allergen, which is not declared on the product labels.

Approximately 11,475 pounds of frozen chicken pub style entrees labeled as beef pub style entrees are recalled.

The products contain milk, a known allergen, which is not declared on the product label.

Today's heightened occurrence of food allergies and intolerances are difficult to ignore. Approximately 15 million people in the U.S. have a food allergy — representing a greater number than the entire populations of New York City, Los Angeles and Chicago combined.
