Mediterranean Salad Recalled for Undeclared Allergens Including Milk

Eat Good LLC is recalling Mediterranean Salad distributed in Idaho, Montana, and Washington due to missing allergen declarations for milk, sulfites, and FD&C Yellow #5.

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: 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.
