GH Foods Italian Pasta Salad Kit Recalled for Missing Egg Allergen Labeling

GH Foods CA LLC is recalling Italian Pasta Salad Kits sold at Whole Foods and Amazon because the label failed to list eggs as an ingredient, despite a 'may contain' warning.

What this means for you

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves allergen mislabeling on a common allergen (eggs), which meets the criteria for a High severity score (3) under the rubric, as no illnesses or injuries have been reported.

Plain-English summary

GH Foods CA LLC is voluntarily recalling 3 cases of Italian Pasta Salad Kit (2/5 lb.) sold at Whole Foods stores and six Amazon stores in California. The product was distributed to distribution centers in California and Colorado. The recall involves units with best-by dates ranging from December 12, 2020, to January 2, 2021.

The recall was initiated because the scale label printed at retail stores did not list eggs as an ingredient, even though the product contains them. The label does state that the product may contain any of the eight major allergens listed on the packaging. This labeling error creates a risk for consumers with egg allergies who may not be aware of the ingredient's presence.

Consumers who purchased this product should check their pantry for the specific UPC (20826766811377) and best-by dates listed above. If you have this product, you should stop using it and contact the retailer or manufacturer for a refund or replacement. Individuals with egg allergies should be particularly cautious and avoid consuming any product that may have been mislabeled.
