FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE - December 14, 2011 - Rising Moon Organics® today issued a voluntary recall of Rising Moon Organics Mediterranean Garlic & Herb Ravioli, a frozen product, because of an incorrect back label on some packages.  This mislabeling incident resulted in an undeclared allergen (Soy).  People who have an allergy or severe sensitivity to soy run the risk of serious or life-threatening allergic reaction if they consume this product.

The front of the retail package is correctly labeled Mediterranean Garlic & Herb Ravioli, 8 oz.  However, the back of the retail package is incorrectly labeled Four Cheese Tortelloni, UPC# 7-85030-55559-0. One Code Date is affected:  SELL BY APR 05 2012 printed on the front label (ONLY this Sell By date is being recalled).

The product involved was distributed through retail stores nationwide (eastern & central regions).

The recall was initiated when it was discovered that some packages were mislabeled by the co-packer.  Although soy ingredient is included in the product, the incorrect back label does not list soy in the ingredients statement.  No other lot codes of Rising Moon Organics Mediterranean Garlic & Herb Ravioli are affected.

No illnesses have been reported to date in association with this product.

Consumers can return the product to their place of purchase for a full refund.  Consumers with questions can contact the company at 888-534-0246 x25154, Monday – Friday 8am to 5pm Eastern Time.
