Morgan Foods Inc., an Austin, Indiana, establishment, is voluntarily recalling approximately 5,402 pounds of chicken soup due to the presence of undeclared allergens (milk and soy), the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food Safety and Inspection Service announced.

The product label indicates that the can contains chicken noodle soup; however, the can contains cream of chicken soup. The cream of chicken soup contains milk and soy, known allergens, which are not declared on the label.

The following product is subject to recall:
10.5-ounce cans of "VALU TIME, Condensed CHICKEN NOODLE SOUP." Each label bears the establishment number "P-1469" inside the USDA seal of inspection. Each can lid also bears the case code "XCMCC9 BESTBY01/03/08 A0306 (A)" and a number between 1600 and 1800 that indicates the time of production.

The chicken soup was produced on January 3, 2006, and was sent to distribution centers and retail stores in Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Michigan, Ohio, Tennessee, Wisconsin and Virginia.

FSIS has had no reports of illness due to consumption of this product. Anyone concerned about an allergic reaction should contact a physician.
