The company said a deluxe cheddar broccoli rice line and a deluxe four cheese pasta product may contain “undeclared sulphites”.
“People who have an allergy or severe sensitivity to sulphites run the risk of serious or life-threatening allergic reaction if they consume these products,” the company said.
“The recall was initiated after the company was notified by the co-manufacturer of the product that an ingredient containing sulphites was inadvertently used in the production of the chilled side-dish products. This issue has been addressed and safeguards have been put into place.”
