Chef Boyardee products recalled over misbranding, undeclared allergens

If you have Chef Boyardee products in your pantry, it's time to check those labels.

According to the Food Safety and Inspection Service, Conagra Brands announced a recall Saturday of nearly 3,000 pounds of mislabeled Chef Boyardee products that contain the wrong meals and possible undeclared allergens.

The items appear to be chicken and rice bowls but actually have beef ravioli inside, the FSIS said in a news release. They "may contain milk and wheat, known allergens, which are not declared on the product label," the release said.
