Natural Choice Distribution Company Inc. is recalling certain ready-to-eat sandwiches and wraps because the products’ labels fail to declare food allergens:
- Products that have “cheese” listed as an ingredient do not declare the allergen MILK
- Products that have “whole grain bread” listed as an ingredient do not declare the allergens WHEAT and SOY
- Products that have “expeller pressed canola mayonnaise” listed as an ingredient do not declare the allergen EGG
No illnesses have been reported. People who have allergies to milk, wheat, soy or eggs run the risk of a serious or life-threatening allergic reaction if they consume these products.
