What happened

Michael Angelo's Gourmet Foods, Inc. is recalling approximately 4,225 pounds of frozen shrimp scampi products due to misbranding and undeclared allergens. The recalled product is 26-ounce boxes of Michael Angelo's Uncompromisingly Italian-Style Shrimp Scampi with Linguini Pasta in a Fresh Heirloom Garlic-Butter Sauce with a packaging date of May 7, 2016 and a "best if used by" date of May 7, 2017 (UPC code 0 37363 98377 0). Due to a packaging error, some boxes labeled as shrimp scampi may actually contain chicken piccata, which includes chicken, egg, and soy—allergens not declared on the label. These products were distributed to the Southeastern U.S. The problem was discovered after a customer complaint, and there have been no confirmed reports of adverse reactions.

Consumers who purchased this product are urged not to consume it and should throw it away or return it to the place of purchase. Anyone concerned about an injury, illness, or allergic reaction should contact a healthcare provider. Consumers with questions about the recall can contact the firm's consumer hotline at 1 (877) 482-5426.
