ATLANTA — A brand of frozen kids' spaghetti is under recall, the USDA's Food Safety and Inspection Service announced over the weekend, due to misbranding and an undeclared allergen.
The USDA said Fairmont Foods, Inc. was recalling 147,132 pounds of frozen spaghetti loops under the Kidfresh brand. The product was shipped to distributors in Georgia as well as Indiana and Texas.
"The product contains egg, a known allergen, which is not declared on the product label," a Food and Safety Inspection Service (FSIS) announcement said.
The frozen spaghetti loops were produced for 7.25-ounce tray in-box packages between Dec. 2022 and Aug. 2023, with lot codes of FF120722, FF011823, FF021623, FF032323, FF042623, FF071923, or FF081023. They have "best if used by" dates between April 2024 and Dec. 2024, according to FSIS.
"The problem was discovered by the producing establishment while conducting a routine ingredient label review. They notified FSIS that egg, a known allergen, was not declared on the finished product label. The problem occurred after a change in noodle formulation by the supplier," FSIS said. "One customer who has an egg allergy reported an adverse reaction after eating the product. Anyone concerned about an injury or illness should contact a healthcare provider. "
Anyone who has the frozen spaghetti meals is urged to throw them away or return them to where they were bought.
