Mediterranean Salad Vegan Recalled for Undeclared Milk Allergen

Market of Choice Inc is recalling pre-packaged Mediterranean Salad Vegan because milk is listed in the ingredients but not in the 'Contains' statement.

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: The recall involves allergen mislabeling on a common allergen (milk), which corresponds to a severity score of 3 (High) according to the rubric.

Plain-English summary

Market of Choice Inc is recalling 138 units of pre-packaged Mediterranean Salad Vegan (UPC 0 211004 706991). The recall was initiated because the product's ingredients statement declares milk, but the 'Contains' statement fails to list it.

The affected units were distributed in Oregon and have sell-by dates ranging from July 29, 2018, to August 7, 2018. This labeling discrepancy poses a risk to consumers with milk allergies or sensitivities who rely on the 'Contains' statement to identify allergens.

Consumers who purchased this product should check their sell-by dates and UPC codes. If the product matches the description, consumers should not consume it and should return it to the place of purchase or contact the manufacturer for instructions.
