WASHINGTON – Walker's Food Products Co., North Kansas City, Mo., recalled approximately 2,446 lbs. of chicken salads because a known allergen was not properly declared on the labels, the US Department of Agriculture's Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) reported. There have been no reports of illness or adverse reactions associated with the products.

The chicken salads contain soy protein concentrate, a known allergen. An FSIS in-plant inspector discovered the problem during a routine label review. The agency said the problem occurred after a change in product suppliers without a corresponding change in product labels.
