MA Firm Recalls Soup Product for Stray Mislabeled Product Containing Undeclared Shrimp

Kettle Cuisine of Lynn, MA is recalling 24oz cups of Whole Foods Market Kitchen Minestrone Soup which may contain undeclared shrimp.   The recall was initiated after it was discovered in-store that a single cup of soup was found to contain the incorrect product and that the soup in the cup contained Shrimp.

Comment:  A single cup of product would indicate that a container of soup got 'lost' and ended up in getting labeled in a run of the Minestrone Soup.  For facilities running thousands of containers, having one getting away from the line only to be mislabeled is defeating.  It is so important to keep tight controls on labels as well as product on the production floor.
