“Individuals with an allergy or severe sensitivity to soy risk serious or life-threatening allergic reactions if they consume this product,” said the company.
People with soy allergy who consume the recalled item face the risk of anaphylaxis, a bodily reaction that impedes breathing, triggers a sudden dip in blood pressure, and can send the body into shock.
The recalled items were sold through retailers in 23 states—Arizona, Colorado, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Michigan, Mississippi, Missouri, New Hampshire, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, and Virginia.
So far, no adverse reactions or illnesses have been reported. The company asked individuals who have bought the products to return them to the place of purchase to get a refund. Those with more questions on the matter can contact Vietti Food Group at (513) 682-2474.
The Epoch Times reached out to the company for comment.
The baked beans recall is the latest of several food recalls over the past months citing undeclared soy.
The recall was issued after a manufacturing quality verification identified that an ingredient provided by a supplier contained soy, which the company was not notified about.
Foods containing soy include tofu, miso, soy sauce, and textured vegetable protein. Some of the items potentially containing soy are cookies, crackers, high protein energy bars, sauces, dairy products, processed meat, canned broths, and sausages.
