Navy Beans Recalled For Undeclared Soy

Anyone with an allergy or severe sensitivity to soy should avoid eating Premium Navy Beans manufactured by Truitt Bros., Inc.  The Salem, OR based food manufacturer has recalled its Premium Navy Beans in 15 ounce cans for undeclared soy.   The June 15 recall notice said no illnesses had yet been reported in connection with the problem.  Truitt distributed the product with its undeclared soy in Oregon and Northern California to retail stores from Dec. 1, 2011 to June 15, 2012.  The company described the product as follows:

Label: Truitt Brothers Pacific Northwest Premium Navy Beans.  Can Code: MDSB S1GTD  Best By: 7/18/14 (located on the top or bottom of the can)  UPC: 8222524145  The recall was initiated after it was discovered that a chili like product containing soy was labeled and distributed as Premium Navy Beans.  The investigation indicates that the problem was caused by a temporary breakdown in the company’s inventory tagging and labeling processes.  Consumers who have purchased Truitt Brothers 15oz Premium Navy Beans are urged to return it to the place of purchase for a full refund.  Consumers with questions may contact the company at 503-362-3674, from 8:00 AM – 5:00 PM PST, Monday through Friday.
