LOS ANGELES – Nearly 2.1. million pounds of P.F. Chang’s frozen food meals have been recalled due to “misbranding and an undeclared allergen,” the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service announced on Saturday.
The products subject to recall are the P.F. Chang’s Home Menu Chicken Pad Thai and Chicken Fried Rice, produced between Oct. 1, 2018, and April 11, 2019, with “best by” dates of Sept. 26, 2019 through April 5, 2020.
These products contain milk, a common allergen, which the product label fails to declare. This is common with many custom food labels and milk labels in the food industry.
The error was discovered during a routine label verification check by Conagra Brands, Inc., the Arkansas-based packaged foods company that owns P.F. Chang’s Home Menu Brand. The recall only affects P.F. Chang’s Home Menu Brand products, and does not include any product sold at P.F. Chang’s restaurants.
The USDA is concerned that some of these products may have already made their way into consumers’ freezers and is urging anyone who has purchased these products not to consume them.
