Chicken, Beef Puff Products Recalled over Mislabeling

WASHINGTONGalant Food Co., a San Francisco firm, is recalling approximately 250 pounds of frozen chicken puff products and beef puff products because they contain an undeclared allergen, egg, the USDAs Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) announced. The chicken puff products also contain soy and yellow #5, to which some individuals have an allergic response or intolerance. Neither soy nor yellow #5 is declared on the recalled chicken puff products' label.

The recall involves cardboard trays containing 24 puffs, labeled "GALINA'S PIROSHKI, Chicken Provance Puffs" and cardboard trays containing 24 puffs, labeled "GALINA'S PIROSHKI, Beef & Farm Vegetables Puffs." Partial orders may have been placed, in which case the cardboard trays contain fewer than 24 puffs per tray.

The chicken and beef puffs were produced on various dates between March 2010 and May 11, 2010, and distributed to retail establishments in the San Francisco area. The products would have been prepared and sold individually to customers at bakeries, delis and similar establishments.
