Dudek
Foods, Inc. of Hamtrack, Michigan is recalling 1-quart Kapusniak ("Cabbage
Soup") jars and 16 oz. boxed and packaged Pierogi Mushroom, Potato, Potato
Cheddar, Potato Chive ("Pierogi") because it may contain undeclared
whey, wheat, soy and dairy ingredients. People who have an allergy or severe
sensitivity to whey, wheat, soy and certain dairy ingredients run the risk of
an allergic reaction if they consume these products.
Kapusniak
(Cabbage Soup) was distributed in Michigan in the metropolitan Detroit area
through retail stores such as Farmer Jack, Kowalski, Old Country Deli, Oakridge
Markets, Twentieth Century, Danny Zeb's Party Store, and Shoppers Market and at

Potato Cheddar, Potato Chive Pierogis were distributed in 16 oz. boxes and

Subsequent investigation indicates the problem was caused by a temporary
breakdown in the company's packaging process. The problem is being corrected by
replacing labels or exchanging product.

(Cabbage Soup) or the 16 oz. boxed and packaged Pierogis are urged to return
