ReadyMeals Chicken Salad Quad Recalled for Undisclosed Tree Nut Allergen

ReadyMeals Chicken Salad Quad products distributed in CO, NE, NM, SD, and WY have labels missing tree nut (cashew) allergen information. Consumers with tree nut allergies should not consume this product.

What this means for you

Illness, injury, or structural failure has been reported. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.

Our severity reasoning: FDA Class I classification mandates a minimum severity score of 4. Cashews are a common tree nut allergen, and omission from the product label creates serious risk of allergic reaction in affected consumers.

Plain-English summary

ReadyMeals Chicken Salad Quad, a 12-ounce prepared salad product packaged in a clear plastic container with four compartments (UPC 2 1352 40000 0), is being recalled by Albertsons Companies LLC.

The recall was issued because the store-printed product label fails to include tree nuts (specifically cashews) in both the ingredient statement and allergen contains statement. This labeling failure creates risk of allergic reaction in consumers with tree nut allergies who rely on label information to make safe food choices.

The affected products were distributed to Safeway locations in Colorado, Nebraska, New Mexico, South Dakota, and Wyoming. All products with sell-through dates up to and including October 20 are included in this recall.

Consumers who purchased this product should check for it in their refrigerator. If you have a tree nut allergy, do not consume this product. If you have already consumed it and experience allergic symptoms, contact a healthcare provider or poison control center immediately. You may return the product to your local store for a refund.
