More than 2,000 pounds of Skyline Chili recalled due to misbranding, undeclared allergens

Morgan Foods, an Austin, Ind., establishment, is recalling approximately 2,205 pounds of Skyline chili due to misbranding and undeclared allergens, the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) announced Wednesday.

The product contains milk, wheat, and soy, which are known allergens and are not declared on the product label.

The cans labeled as chili product may actually contain cream of chicken soup and were produced on Dec. 21, 2021:

  • 10.5 oz. cans containing “Skyline CHILI ORIGINIAL CHILI” with a lot code “L2121”, product code “CHC8T UPY” on the bottom of the can, and a best by date of Dec. 21, 2023. The cans are packed in trays marked as “Skyline Original Chili” with an expiration date of December 21, 2024.

The product subject to recall bears establishment number “EST. 6806” inside the USDA mark of inspection. These items were shipped to retail locations nationwide.

The problem was discovered by consumers who reported to the company that the cans labeled as chili contained cream of chicken soup.

There have been no confirmed reports of adverse reactions due to consumption of these products. Anyone concerned about an injury or illness should contact a healthcare provider.

FSIS is concerned that some product may be in consumers’ pantries. Consumers who have purchased these products are urged not to consume them. These products should be thrown away or returned to the place of purchase.

The FSIS routinely conducts recall effectiveness checks to verify recalling firms notify their customers of the recall and that steps are taken to make certain that the product is no longer available to consumers. When available, the retail distribution lists will be posted on the FSIS website at www.fsis.usda.gov/recalls.

Consumers with questions about the recall can contact Bridget Castellini, Wordsmith Communications, 1-513-515-9673 or bcastellini@wordsworthweb.com.
