Stop & Shop, Giant Food pull College Inn broth
The Stop & Shop Supermarket Co. and Giant Food chains both removed College Inn No MSG Chicken Broth from their stores this weekend, following a nationwide voluntary recall by the product’s maker, Del Monte Foods Co. due mislabeling.
The product contains an undeclared wheat allergen and its label incorrectly states that it does not contain monosodium glutamate — or MSG — when it does in fact contain the flavor enhancer.
The following code dates and UPCs are affected:
—College Inn No MSG Chicken Broth, individual 14.5 ounce cans, all, with code dates, UPC 2400032230.
Del Monte has not received reports of illness related to consumption of the product, the retailers said in statements Saturday. They said all other sizes and types of College Inn Chicken Broth are unaffected.
Consumers can call the College Inn Consumer Hotline at 1-800-552-7684.
People who have bought the product can return any unused portions or bring in a receipt for a full refund.
Giant Food operates stores in Virginia, Maryland, Delaware and Washington, D.C., and Stop & Shop has stores in New York, New Jersey, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Connecticut and Rhode Island.
