MAXTON — About 4,185 pounds of soup made at the Campbell Soup plant here is being recalled because of misbranding and undeclared allergens, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service.

The Campbell Soup Company confirmed that it is voluntarily recalling about 300 cases of 18.6-ounce cans labeled as Campbell’s Homestyle Healthy Request Chicken with Whole Grain Pasta soup. The cans may actually contain Campbell’s Homestyle Healthy Request Italian-Style Wedding soup. The soup contains milk, a known allergen, which is not declared on the product label.

The recall applies only to Central Florida and was very limited, said Michelle Reardon, a cooperate spokesperson.

“Most of it actually was in a warehouse,” she said.

The soup subject to recall has the number EST. 4R on the bottom of each can. The cans were shipped to stores in Florida.

The problem was discovered April 20 when the company received multiple complaints about the wrong soup in the cans. There have been no confirmed reports of adverse reactions because of consumption of these products, the government agency said.

Consumers who have bought these products are urged not to consume them. These products should be thrown away or returned to the place of purchase.
