Turkey Gravy Recall: Lot Code and All You Need to Know

The United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has issued an urgent recall for Hy-Vee Turkey gravy products over concerns about an allergen not declared on the label. Produced by Seneca Foods Corporation, the affected products are feared to contain undeclared soy posing risks of severe allergic reactions in people with a sensitivity or an allergy.

Announced on November 21, 2023, the voluntary recall is only applicable to Hy-Vee Gravy products exclusively sold through Hy-Vee stores. As per the establishment, the undeclared allergen problem was caused because of improper labeling which resulted in the beef gravy jars being labeled as Turkey gravy.

While the affected products are not known to have caused any adverse effects in people, they could still be dangerous for those with an allergy or sensitivity to soy allergens. As of now, the establishment is trying to retrieve all affected jars of the mislabeled gravy products from across the country.

If consumed, the soy allergen-contaminated gravy products could put people at risk of experiencing severe allergic reactions with symptoms such as tingling in the mouth, skin rashes, puffing in tongues, itching in the throat, diarrhea, and other digestive issues. Severe cases of sensitivity can also result in an anaphylaxis reaction which may require immediate medical intervention.
