Morningstar Farms Recall

CHEYENNE (January 13, 2015) – MorningStar Farms is issuing a voluntarily recall of certain code dates of Spicy Black Bean Burgers and Chipotle Black Bean Burgers because they may contain undeclared peanut.

MorningStar Farms was notified by a third party supplier that one of the spice ingredients used in Spicy Black Bean Burgers and Chipotle Black Bean Burgers may inadvertently contain peanut, an allergen that is not declared on the products’ ingredient statements. People who have an allergy or severe sensitivity to peanuts run the risk of serious or life-threatening allergic reaction if they consume these products.

These products were distributed nationwide in the U.S. at both retail stores and through foodservice channels including Wyoming. No illnesses have been reported to date in connection with this recall. The Wyoming Department of Agriculture has notified establishments throughout the state to pull the item from their shelves.

“The product has been removed from shelves in Wyoming establishments,” said Dean Finkenbinder, Manager of Consumer Health Services at the Wyoming Department of Agriculture. “It’s important for consumers to check their products and take precautions because it could still be in fridges and freezers.”

Consumers with questions may contact the Consumer Response Center using the Contact Us feature on www.MorningStarFarms.com or by calling at 1-800-962-0120 from Monday – Friday, from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. Eastern Time.
