Hydrolyzed Vegetable Protein Recall

Hydrolyzed vegetable protein is a protein obtained from various foods (like soybeans, corn or wheat), then broken down into amino acids by a chemical process called acid hydrolysis. Hydrolyzed plant or vegetable protein is used as a flavor enhancer in numerous processed foods like soups, chilis, sauces, stews and some meat products like frankfurters.
There has been a recall of certain products containing this additive.
