US food giant Kraft Foods is voluntarily recalling approximately 15,810 packages of Lunchables turkey, ham and cheddar cheese ready-to-eat complete meals due to mislabelling, the US Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) has said.


According to the product label, Dijon mustard is included in the package. Instead, the package contains herb sauce with a known allergen (egg yolk).


The product being recalled is 5.1 oz. packages of “Oscar Mayer Lunchables Deluxe Turkey, Ham and Cheddar Cheeses, Andes Mint, with Dijon Mustard.” Each package bears the use by date and establishment number “09 DEC 2004 EB Est. P-2310” and is stamped with the packaging code “00 44700 02464”.


The packages were produced on 10 September 2004, and were sent to retail establishments in California, Oregon, Utah and Washington.


The problem was discovered by consumers, who notified the company. FSIS said it has received no reports of allergic reactions associated with consumption of this product, but anyone concerned about an allergic reaction should contact a doctor.
