Crave Foods, a Los Angeles, Calif., establishment is recalling approximately 600 pounds of frozen chicken mushroom pies because they contain an undeclared allergen, monosodium glutamate (MSG), which is not declared on the label, the FSIS announced today.

The products subject to recall include:

6-lb. cases of CRAVE PIES CHICKEN MUSHROOM PIE, with each case containing 12 individual packages

The individual package indicates that it contains two pies that are 4 ounces each, and bears the establishment number P-27348 in the USDA mark of inspection.

The problem was discovered by FSIS during a routine inspection. FSIS has received no reports of adverse reactions due to consumption of these products. Anyone concerned about a reaction should contact a physician.

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.
