FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE -- April 8, 2008 -- North Aire Market of
Shakopee, MN is recalling 99 boxes of Chicken Dumpling Soup Mix because
they may contain undeclared traces of almonds. The 99 boxes were sold
in various parts of the country primarily to specialty gift shops and
through the company’s web site under the brand, “Maggie & Mary’s
Chicken Dumpling Soup Mix.” The lot codes related to this recall are:
0730810, 0720810, 0910810, 0920811, 0920810, 0930810, 0980810, and are
found on the bottom of the retail box.
The dumplings in the soup mix may have may have been exposed to
residual traces of almonds which may have been present on machinery
used to package an almond containing product earlier. However, no
almond traces were found on the machinery, no almond traces were found
within any dumpling packages, and there are no reports of illness
associated with this recall. This recall is precipitated by an
uncertainty as to whether one step in the sanitizing procedure was
properly followed to make the machinery ready to package the 99 units.
The Company has been in phone contact with 86 % of the stores which
received this product and is making attempts to reach the remaining
stores.
