Agriculture Commissioner Tommy Irvin is alerting Georgia correctional institutions to the recall of some chili for incorrectly labeled nutrition facts.
The Wornick Company of Cincinnati, Ohio is recalling approximately 153,698 pounds of "Chili no beans" because the product was mislabeled with the incorrect nutrition facts information panel.
The following product is subject to recall:
11.25-ounce pouches of "Brushy Creek Chili no beans." Each case contains 24 pouches and bears the establishment number "EST. 19076" and "Best By Dates" of "7/22/10; 08/26/10; 10/01/10 and 10/22/10" printed on the reverse side of the pouch; the opposite side bears the USDA mark of inspection.
The chili product was produced and packaged on various dates in January 2009 through April 2009 and was distributed to correctional institutions nationwide. The distribution of the chili product was limited only to correctional institutions.
“Our inspectors will be checking food warehouses across the state to make sure the product is removed from shelves,” said Irvin.
Media and consumer questions regarding the recall should be directed to the company's Senior Vice President of Business Development, John Kowalchik, at (513) 552-7406.
