Vietti Food Group has issued a voluntary recall for its canned baked beans because they could pose a soy allergy risk. The recall was first requested on May 2 but was not published until Monday on the FDA website. We commend the Nashville, Tennessee-based company for moving swiftly once it learned that their product caused swallow danger, especially to children. Their interests align especially well with those of people with soy allergies or intolerances.
Consumers are at risk of developing mild to life-threatening symptoms upon consumption of the baked beans included in this recall. Vietti Food Group is in ongoing discussions with retailers. They do not want to annoy customers, but they do want to protect their customers.
On Wednesday, an agent for Vietti Food Group told People’s Email Network that they do not currently have a final list of affected retail stores. The search for that information continues. They stood by their decision to not alert consumers to the health risks posed by using the product.
“We are working with our customers to make sure they push this notice out to their customers.” – Vietti Food Group representative
If you purchased the impacted canned baked beans, return them to the store where you bought them for a refund. You will receive a complete refund or an exchange for your order. The company is doing everything in their power to reduce the risks that could come from consumption of this product by continually engaging with retailers on best practices.
This recall reminds consumers that soy allergies can provoke serious reactions in allergic individuals, including asphyxiation. The speed at which Vietti Food Group acted is exemplary of a company that prioritizes consumer health and transparency.
“Any consumer who has product related to this recall should return it to their point of purchase for refund or return.” – Vietti Food Group
