Knorr-Lipton Pasta Sides
voluntarily recalled for
including ‘undeclared milk’
Department of Agriculture Commissioner Tommy Irvin informs Georgians today that one variety of Knorr Lipton-Pasta Sides is being voluntarily recalled by the company because of a milk ingredient that is not listed on the label.
"Knorr® - Lipton® Pasta SidesTM Chicken--Fettuccini in a Savory Chicken Flavored Sauce" is being voluntarily withdrawn from the market by Unilever, Englewood Cliffs, NJ.
The product, packaged in 4.3oz. pouches marked with UPC # 4100002246 on the bottom right-hand side of the back, has a “Best If Used By dates of SEP11 2007, SEP12 2007, SEP13 2007, SEP14 2007 or SEP20 2007.” These dates can be found along the left-hand seam on the back of the pouch.
“We encourage consumers to be aware,” Irvin says. “Georgians who have an allergic reaction to milk could be harmed if they consume this product. The product can be returned to the place of purchase for a full refund.”
The Knorr-Lipton Pasta Sides are distributed nationwide and reach consumers through retail stores, club stores and dollar stores. The company says their investigation is on-going after having one illness reported.
