WASHINGTON, Dec. 6, 2007 - Custom Culinary, Inc., an Oswego, Ill., establishment, is
recalling approximately 990 pounds of beef and chicken base products because they may contain undeclared
allergens. The beef base product contains milk and soy, which are known allergens. Jars of the beef base
product may be mislabeled as chicken base, which does not declare these allergens on the label.
The following products are subject to recall: [View Labels]
- Cases of 16-ounce jars of "US LOW SODIUM BEEF BASE PASTE NO MSG ADDED*." Each case bears the product codes "191806" and "30381E" and the lot code "72108122481," as well as the establishment number "EST. 2016" inside the USDA mark of inspection.

The beef and chicken base products were produced on April 12, 2007, and were shipped to distribution warehouses in
California, Colorado, Florida, Kentucky, Illinois, New Jersey, North Dakota, Texas, Virginia and West Virginia. These
products were intended for food service and restaurant use and are not expected to be available for purchase in retail
