WASHINGTON, Aug. 11, 2015 Create Common Good, a Boise, Idaho establishment, is recalling approximately 185 pounds of jambalaya products due to misbranding and an undeclared allergen, the U.S. Department of Agricultures Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) announced today. The product contains milk, a known allergen, and beef, both of which were not declared on the product label. The following items, produced on various dates between July 15 and August 7, 2015, are subject to recall: [ View Labels (PDF only)] 1.5-lb. plastic heat and serve packages containing CREATE COMMON GOOD Albertsons Jambalaya with Chicken and Andouille with the following sell-by dates: 7/19/15, 7/21/15, 7/24/15, 7/26/15, 7/28/15, 7/31/15, 8/02/15, 08/04/15, 8/07/15, 8/09/15, and 8/11/15. These products, bearing establishment number EST. 45453 inside the USDA mark of inspection, were shipped to a distributor in Idaho.
