The recalled Ukrop’s baked spaghetti doesn’t only have the wrong food inside its packaging, it may also contain allergens and other unwanted ingredients. Unlike the baked spaghetti that should be inside the packages, the chicken cobbler contains both meat and soy that are not disclosed on the label. Soy is one of the “Big 8”—the most common food-related allergens—and, as such, must be identified on the packaging of any packaged food that falls under the jurisdiction of the U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA). Kroger recommends that customers who have purchased the recalled product do not consume the dish. If you have the recalled food at home, you can return it to the store from which it was purchased for a full refund, or contact Ukrop’s Homestyle Foods at 804-340-3050 on weekdays from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. ET.
