Vita Food Products of Chicago, Ill., is recalling 2,280 individual plastic jars of 12-ounce Elf Herring Fillets in Wine Sauce.
The jars actually contain herring fillets in sour cream and contains milk, an allergen nor declared among the ingredients.
There have been no illnesses reported to date in connection with this product.
The product was sent to retailers in Illinois, Michigan, Minnesota and Wisconsin beginning on December 26, 2013.
The single lot of ELF Herring Fillets in Wine Sauce that is the subject of this public announcement and recall should have been labeled as another ELF-branded product, Herring Fillets in Real Sour Cream.
Products from this lot can be identified by the best if used before date of 21 May 14 and lot number 03553, which can be found on the backside of the jar at the bottom of the label. The front of the label says “Elf Herring Fillets in Wine Sauce.”
Mislabeled products that are subject to recall will be obvious to consumers because the recalled product’s white sour cream sauce can be seen through the clear plastic jar. Properly labeled Elf Herring Fillets in Wine Sauce product has a clear sauce and is not subject to this recall.
Consumers who purchased the recalled product may request a refund by mailing the product label or a copy of the receipt to Vita Food Products, Inc., Attn: Customer Service, 2222 West Lake Street. Chicago, Ill., 60612.
Consumers may call the company at (800) 989-VITA Monday through Friday, 8:00 am – 5:00 pm CDT.
