Baked bean recall details What to do with recalled baked beans

Yellowstone Brown Sugar Molasses Baked Beans were recalled by their manufacturer, Vietti Food Group of Nashville, Tennessee. Despite the label not saying so, the 15-ounce cans contained soy, and consuming such product without knowing could result in a serious, potentially life-threatening reaction in those who are allergic to the legume.

According to the American College of Allergy, Asthma, & Immunology, symptoms of an allergic reaction to soy may include vomitting, stomach cramps, diarrhea, wheezing, cough, throat tightness, hives, rash, and/or dizziness and confusion. Soy allergies are one of the most common in young children, the college says and rarely, but sometimes, cause life-threatening anaphylaxis.
