Plain-English summary

Weis Markets, Inc. is recalling approximately 560 containers of store-made coleslaw. The product was packed in deli-style plastic containers and sold in New York. The recall is due to a labeling error where the ingredient label failed to declare egg, a major food allergen, which is a sub-ingredient of the Hellmann's Mayonnaise used in the recipe.

The affected coleslaw was sold with 'Sell By' dates ranging from March 21, 2018, through March 24, 2018. The product ingredients include cabbage, carrots, pineapple, white onions, sugar, salt, pepper, vinegar, and Hellmann's Mayonnaise.

Consumers who purchased this product should check their refrigerators for the specific 'Sell By' dates and product description. If they have the recalled coleslaw, they should discard it or return it to the store of purchase. Individuals with an egg allergy should be particularly cautious and avoid consuming any product that may contain undeclared egg.
