The agency’s classification

FDA (Food): Class II

Class II is a situation in which use of or exposure to a violative product may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences, or where the probability of serious adverse health consequences is remote.

This is the agency’s own classification, taken from its notice. The severity score below is our assessment, not the agency’s. How recall classes work

What this means for you

Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 3/5 (High).

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: FDA Class II allergen mislabeling involving common allergens—milk, sulfites, and FD&C Yellow #5—that must be declared on product labels. No illnesses or injuries are reported in the source material.

Plain-English summary

Eat Good LLC is recalling Mediterranean Salad, a refrigerated food-service product packaged in 5-pound flexible plastic bags (two bags per cardboard case). The product was distributed to grocery stores in Idaho, Montana, and Washington where it was sold by the pound from deli display cases. Affected products carry use-by dates of June 27, June 29, or July 1, 2023.

The product's label identifies pepperoncini and feta cheese as ingredients but fails to declare the allergens they contain. Specifically, the label does not declare that pepperoncini contains sulfites and FD&C Yellow #5, and does not declare that feta cheese is derived from milk. Milk, sulfites, and FD&C Yellow #5 are recognized food allergens that must be clearly labeled.

Consumers who purchased this product and have allergies or sensitivities to milk, sulfites, or FD&C Yellow #5 should not consume it. Anyone who has consumed the product and experienced an allergic reaction should contact a healthcare provider.
