What this means for you

Highest-severity recall. Risk of serious injury or death is documented or strongly suspected. Stop using the product now and follow the agency's instructions.

Our severity reasoning: The source metadata explicitly classifies the recall as 'High - Class I' and 'Class I'. Per the rubric, if the agency's own classification is FDA Class I or USDA Class I, the score is never below 4, and the rubric defines Class I as Critical (Score 5).

Plain-English summary

Café Spice GCT Inc., a New Windsor, N.Y. establishment, is recalling approximately 289 pounds of ready-to-eat chicken salad products. The recall is due to misbranding and the presence of an undeclared allergen. The chicken salad was packaged with a chicken wrap label, but the product contains milk, a known allergen, which is not declared on the labels.

The affected products are 15-oz. clamshell containers labeled as southwest-style chicken wrap but containing southwest-style chicken salad. These items were produced on Jan. 12, 2018, and bear a best by date of Jan. 20, 2018. They carry establishment number EST. P-34641 inside the USDA mark of inspection and were shipped to retail locations nationwide.

The issue was discovered by a retail customer who notified the company, leading to an internal investigation and contact with the Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS). There have been no confirmed reports of adverse reactions due to consumption of these products. Consumers who have purchased these items are urged not to consume them and should throw them away or return them to the place of purchase.
