Western Family Onion Soup Mix, 2.25 oz. pouches packaged in 4.5-oz. cartons

Gilster-Mary Lee Corp. recalled Western Family Onion Soup Mix, 2.25 oz. pouches packaged in 4.5-oz. cartons in a Class I action — the FDA's most serious tier, reserved for products with a reasonable probability of causing serious health consequences or death on Jun 5, 2017.

The FDA listed the reason as an undeclared allergen: "The product may contain undeclared egg." Allergen mislabeling is the leading cause of U.S. food recalls, because a missing declaration can trigger a reaction in someone who reads the label and believes the product is safe.

Distribution was limited; the FDA record lists "Domestic only: ASSOCIATED FOODS STORES FARR WEST WAREHOUSE 1850 WEST 2530 NORTH FARR WEST, UT 84404." Single-area recalls still warrant a kitchen check for anyone who shops within that footprint. The recalling firm is based in Chester, IL. The recall covers 54 cases of product. The FDA has Terminated this recall (first reported Jun 21, 2017), its final lifecycle state, indicating the agency considers the corrective action resolved. The historical record remains useful for tracking a brand's recall pattern over time.
