Little Salad Bar Cranberry Walnut Salad Recalled for Incorrect Ingredient Labeling

Ready Pac Foods is recalling Little Salad Bar Cranberry Walnut Salad because the ingredient label on the container is incorrect and fails to declare wheat and walnuts.

What this means for you

Minor labeling or packaging issue, or a voluntary precautionary recall. Risk of harm is low but real — follow the manufacturer's instructions.

Our severity reasoning: The recall is classified as FDA Class III, which indicates the product is unlikely to cause adverse health consequences. The hazard is a labeling error regarding undeclared allergens (wheat and walnuts), which fits the criteria for a moderate severity score involving minor labeling errors or low-risk contamination.

Plain-English summary

Ready Pac Foods Inc. is recalling Little Salad Bar Cranberry Walnut Salad, a 4.5 oz. product distributed by Aldi Inc. The recall involves 120 cases, with six bowls per case. The specific lot code is 164842410, and the expiration date is 11/13/2018. The product was distributed to two locations in Florida and Georgia.

The recall was initiated because the ingredient label on the bottom of the clear plastic container is incorrect. The label currently displays the ingredients for Chicken Caesar Salad instead of the Cranberry Walnut Salad. Consequently, the label does not declare the presence of wheat or walnuts, which are ingredients in the actual product.

Consumers who purchased this product should check the lot code and expiration date on the bottom of the container. If the product matches the recalled lot, consumers should stop using it and return it to the place of purchase for a refund or contact the recalling firm for further instructions.
