  The recalled chips were distributed to retail stores, club stores and institutional/restaurant accounts in addition to mail order accounts throughout Alabama, Connecticut, District of Columbia, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Massachusetts, Maryland, North Carolina, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Virginia,  and West Virginia.

The product comes in various sized bag and boxed packages marked with sell by dates from February 9, 2011 through March 30, 2011.

No confirmed illnesses have been reported to date in connection with this problem.

This recall has been initiated due to unintended trace amounts of flavorings containing soy protein coming in contact with our normal spice flavorings during production.  Therefore, the above listed products may contain ingredients that include soy protein allergens.  Product packaging does not identify soy protein on the labeling.

Production of the product was suspended until the area in which the seasoning was being utilized could be sanitized.

This concern was also addressed by the removal of products from retail outlets that did not state the allergen on the label.

Consumers who have purchased the products listed above are urged to return them to the place of purchase for a full refund.  Consumers with questions may contact the company at 1-800-548-1200.

Just FYI, all the recalled product was pulled from the shelves on Feb. 4-5, just before the Super Bowl. The chips on the shelves since then are consistent with their labeling. (The recall was initiated because it was discovered that a trace amount of our BBQ chip seasoning MAY have come in contact with our regular chips. The BBQ seasoning contains a small amount of soy protein, which is on the FDA's list of allergens, along with milk, eggs, etc. Therefore, although none of the recalled chips have been found to have any of the seasoning on them, the mere possibility led to the precautionary recall.) If you bought chips before the Super Bowl and they have "sell by" dates of Feb. 9-Mar. 30, then they could be some of the chips being recalled. But, let me reiterate, the chips on the shelves after the Super Bowl are perfectly fine and consistent with their labeling. Please check our website for more information: http://www.mfps.com.
