Kraft Foods Recalls Allergen-Causing Food Items
The U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) announced on behalf of Kraft Foods Global, Inc. that the company will be recalling about 8,000 pounds of frozen pepperoni and sausage pizza products because of an undeclared allergen of soy protein concentrate. The company discovered the defect; and has not sent any reports to the FSIS indicating adverse reactions due to consumption of the product. The recall will take place at retail establishments in 17 states, including Missouri.
The products being recalled are any product with the “JACK’S” back label, specifically 17.2-ounce packages of “Kraft, Jack’s Original, Sausage & Pepperoni Pizza made with pork, chicken & beef.” The product may also include this label: “Tombstone Original 12 Pepperoni Pizza.”
When a product is defective, the responsibility of any damaging effects on consumers could be in the hands of the companies that manufacture, sell or distribute the damaged product.
Product defects in Missouri and throughout the U.S. can fall under three common categories: manufacturing, design and marketing. If a person or entity does not take proper care in the manufacturing or initial design of the product, that party is responsible for any forthright harm that may occur to consumers. The person or entity is then liable for recalling defective products as well as paying for damages sustained by any affected party.
