If you’re planning on having chicken pot pie this week, you may want to do a quick double-check before your next mealtime. Great American Cobbler LLC. Has issued a voluntary recall of more than 4,000 pounds of chicken pot pie products due to misbranding and undeclared allergens, according to a recall announcement from the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) published on Friday, Feb. 11.
The recall, affecting approximately 4,272 pounds of frozen Creole style chicken pot pie items, was issued after routine FSIS label verification activities discovered misbranding and undeclared allergens on these products. According to the recall notice, the products contain soy. However, the routine label verification found that soy was not listed on the product label. The undeclared allergen could prove dangerous to consumers with a soy allergy. The FSIS noted that there have been no confirmed reports of adverse reactions in connection to this recall at this time.

A soy allergy is a common food allergy, according to the Mayo Clinic, which notes that soy allergies often begin in infancy with reaction to soy-based infant formula. While most children outgrow soy allergy, some carry the allergy into adulthood. Symptoms of soy allergy include hives or itching in and around the mouth, wheezing, skin redness, swelling of the lips, face, tongue and throat, and abdominal pain, diarrhea, nausea, or vomiting. While a soy allergy is not serious for most people, in rare instances, an allergic reaction to soy can be life-threatening. Signs and symptoms of a food allergy typically develop within a few minutes to hours after eating a food containing the allergen.
