R.L. Schreiber, Inc. of Pompano Beach, Florida is recalling 1,368 - 12 oz packages of Beef Gravy Mix because it may contain undeclared soy and milk ingredients. Individuals with allergies or sensitivity to soy or milk run the risk of serious or life-threatening allergic reaction if they consume these products.

The Beef Gravy Mix was distributed in Colorado Florida, Hawaii, Idaho, Maryland, North Carolina, Oklahoma Pennsylvania, and West Virginia through foodservice distributors.

The product comes in a 12 oz white plastic bag labeled R. L. Schreiber, Inc. Beef Gravy Mix Bar Code 1270 marked with lot code number "E04A1" on the package label.

No illnesses have been reported to date in connection with this problem.

The recall was initiated after it was discovered that the product containing soy and milk ingredients was distributed in packaging that did not reveal the presence of soy and milk.
