A.S.K. Foods, LLC has announced a recall of certain 32-ounce containers of Publix Rice & Pigeon Peas due to the presence of undeclared soy. This recall affects only products sold at Publix locations in Florida.
The affected product is packaged in a plastic tray labeled as Publix Rice & Pigeon Peas, Net Wt. 32 OZ (2 LB) 907. The bottom label lists CAVATAPPI PASTA as the first ingredient and features a code on the lid of “5387-4”, “5387-5” or “5387-6”. According to the company, these containers have an ingredient statement intended for Three Cheese Mac & Cheese, which does not declare soy—an allergen present in the rice and pigeon peas dish.
