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.

Plain-English summary

Derby City Vending Inc is recalling 3,560 units of its "Finish Line" Hand Made Chicken Salad. The product consists of 100% whole wheat bread, fresh hand-cut chicken breast, miracle whip, salt, pepper, celery, and pickle relish. The affected sandwiches were stamped with "Fresh Thru" dates ranging from April 21, 2012, to June 17, 2012.

The recall was initiated after an FDA inspection on June 12, 2012, revealed that the product labels were missing required declarations for soy, milk, eggs, and wheat. These are major food allergens that must be clearly identified for consumer safety.

The product was distributed to Kentucky and Indiana. Consumers who purchased these sandwiches should check their labels for the missing allergen information and the specific "Fresh Thru" date range. If the product matches the description, consumers should not consume it and should contact the firm for instructions on disposal or return.
