The company said there have been no reported health issues as a result of the labeling problem, but advised anyone concerned to contact a healthcare provider.

ConAgra said anyone who has these products should either throw them out or return them to the store where they were purchased. Customers with questions or issues should call ConAgra customer service at 1-866-213-1245.
