Plain-English summary
CFS West Holdings Inc. is recalling 293 cases of 1-gallon containers of Houlihan's Creamy Garlic Ranch Dressing. The product was manufactured exclusively for Houlihan's Restaurant, Inc. in Leawood, Kansas. The recall was initiated after a customer complaint indicated that a case of Creamy Ranch with Garlic was mislabeled as Horseradish Sauce.
The primary hazard is that the ranch dressing contains milk, a major food allergen, which is not declared on the label for the horseradish sauce. This mislabeling poses a risk to individuals with milk allergies who might consume the product believing it to be horseradish sauce.
The affected product was distributed to distributors in Illinois, Maryland, and Missouri. The specific code information for the recalled product is 18221SS, with a manufacturing date of December 7, 2018. Consumers should check their pantries for this specific product and stop using it if found.
