California Firm Recalls Salad Product Containing Chicken Due To Misbranding and Undeclared Allergen
FSIS Announcement
WASHINGTON, June 12, 2013 Taylor Farms Pacific, a Tracy, Calif. establishment, is recalling approximately 678 pounds of BBQ Flavored Ranch Salad with Chicken product because of misbranding and an undeclared allergen. The salad dressing packaged with the salad contains egg, a known allergen, which is not declared on the product label.
The product subject to recall includes:
- 12.25-oz. plastic trays of iSignature CafE BBQ Flavored Ranch Salad with Chicken” [View Label]
The product subject to recall bears the establishment number iP-34013” inside the USDA mark of inspection on the label and a use-by date of iJune 14, 13,” which is located on the top label of the package.The product was produced on June 7, 2013, and was sold to retail stores in California and Nevada.
The problem was discovered by the company during a document review and occurred because the company inadvertently used labels that were designed for another salad product it produces that does not contain egg. Concurrently, the company was also notified by a customer who rejected the product because of the mislabeling. FSIS and the company have received no reports of adverse reactions due to consumption of these products. Anyone concerned about a reaction should contact a healthcare provider.
