Those who have an allergy or severe sensitivity to milk protein or potatoes run the risk of a health problem or illness if they eat the recalled soup. No confirmed illnesses have been reported, according to the Faribault, Minn., company. The recalled split pea soup was distributed to food stores nationwide.
