WASHINGTON, September 13, 2013 – Galant Food Company, a San Leandro, Calif. establishment, is recalling approximately 420 pounds of Chicken Provance French puff pastry product because of misbranding and an undeclared allergen. The products are formulated with an egg wash glaze that contains egg, a known allergen, which is not declared on the label.

The product subject to recall includes:

  • 4-oz. of “Chicken Provance French Puff ” bearing the establishment number “EST. 9014” inside the USDA mark of inspection on the label. Identifying case codes are: 7193, 9053 and 9093.     

The products were produced on July 19, September 5 and September 9, 2013 and shipped to restaurants and cafes in the San Francisco Bay area.

The problem was discovered during a food safety assessment at the establishment. FSIS personnel are responsible for verifying that establishments are actively labeling the eight most common food allergens. The firm recently relocated, and the problem occurred due to difficulties with label printing equipment at their new location.

FSIS and the company have received no reports of adverse reactions due to consumption of these products. Anyone concerned about a reaction should contact a healthcare provider.

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.

Consumers and media with questions about the recall should contact Richard Fairchild, the company’s recall coordinator, at 415-552-5475.
