Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Plain-English summary
Fisher's Homestyle Salads LLC is voluntarily recalling approximately 140 pounds of Crab & Shrimp Salad packaged in 5 lb and 10 lb plastic containers. The recall was initiated because the product contains undeclared allergens, specifically corn, wheat, and Red 40. Additionally, the ingredient statement lists pollock and whitefish, but the product may contain undeclared whiting, cod, and/or bream. Although crab is listed in the product name, it is also flagged as an undeclared ingredient in the recall notice.
The affected product was distributed to Esh Foods, L.L.C. in Gordonville, PA; Landis Foods in Lancaster, PA; and Soup R Salads in Lancaster, PA. Additional quantities were sold directly to customers from the on-site retail counter at Fisher's Homestyle Salads, LLC. No sell-by or expiration date code was included on the package, though a 7-day sell-by date was estimated as July 4, 2013.
Consumers who purchased this product should check their pantries for these specific containers and dispose of the product or return it to the place of purchase. Individuals with allergies to corn, wheat, fish, or crab should avoid consuming the product.
