Due to failure to identify soy as an ingredient, Truitt Brothers is recalling more than a million pounds of a Kraft Velveeta product, the US government announced on Monday (Jan 13).

The USDA's Food Safety and Inspection Service said that manufacturer Truitt Brothers is recalling 1.77 million pounds of Kraft Velveeta Cheesy Skillets Singles - Ultimate Cheeseburger Mac. The macaroni and cheese product contains pasta and ground beef.

Some of the labels do not mention the presence of hydrolysed soy protein and dried soy sauce, which are allergens.

"The inaccurate labelling is the only thing wrong with the product," said Kraft Foods spokeswoman Joyce Hodel.

The recall applies to food with a sale date from March 2, 2014 to October 23, 2014.

It does not apply to other Kraft or Velveeta products, according to the government.
