An additive -hydrolyzed vegetable protein — is said to be the source of the contamination and is used in thousands of foods.

U.S. products included in the recall are Tim’s Cascade Snacks, prepackaged foods made by Earth Island, tortilla soup mix made by Homemade Gourmet and chicken soup base made by Castella Imports.
