TS Food Packaging recalls bacon flavor popcorn seasoning for undeclared soy allergen

Undeclared Soy in Bacon Popcorn Seasoning Sparks Nationwide Recall

TS Food Packaging has issued a voluntary recall for its bacon flavor popcorn seasoning sold under the Rural King and Wabash Valley Farms brands. The recall was prompted by the presence of an undeclared soy ingredient, which can pose a serious risk to individuals with soy allergies.

This issue was identified when a supplier provided an ingredient containing soy that was not disclosed. Affected units were distributed through retail stores and online platforms nationwide. The exact number of affected products has not been reported. In response, the company is removing these items from shelves and offering refunds to those who purchased them.
