What this means for you

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

Taylor Farms Retail, Inc. is recalling one production lot of Creamy Homestyle Coleslaw Kits. The recall involves 293 cases of the product, which includes green cabbage, carrots, red cabbage, and a creamy coleslaw dressing. The specific lot code is TFRS212A07C, and the best if used by date is 08-16-2017.

The recall was initiated because the coleslaw kits were inadvertently packed with organic dressing packets that contain both egg and milk. While egg is declared on the product labeling, milk is not. This mislabeling poses a risk to consumers with milk allergies.

The product was distributed in California, West Virginia, and Florida. The five cases shipped to West Virginia and Florida were determined to still be intact prior to the issuance of the press release. Consumers who have purchased this product should check the lot code and best if used by date. If the product matches the recalled lot, consumers should not consume it and should return it to the place of purchase or contact the manufacturer for instructions.
