On Friday, Blount Fine Foods, a prepared foods and soup manufacturer based in McKinney, Texas, voluntarily recalled a limited amount of Panera at Home Southwest Corn Chowder over an undeclared wheat allergen, according to a company announcement posted by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
The product in question was only sold in refrigerated cases at the deli departments of select retail grocery stores and was not distributed in any known Panera Bread bakeries or cafés, the FDA stated. The specific grocery stores are also located in 12 states, which include California, Iowa, Illinois, Massachusetts, Maine, Michigan, New Hampshire, New York, Ohio, Texas, Virginia and Washington.
