Plain-English summary

Good Foods Group, LLC is recalling approximately 130 pounds of fully cooked, ready-to-eat curry chicken salad products. The recall is due to misbranding and the presence of an undeclared allergen. The products contain tree nuts, specifically cashews, which are not listed on the product label.

The affected items are 32-ounce deli cups produced on March 27, 2018. The lid of the cup correctly identifies the product as Curry Chicken Salad, but the side of the cup incorrectly displays a label for Artichoke & Jalapeno Dip. This incorrect side label omits the cashew ingredient. The products bear lot code 489221-2B and establishment number P-45623. The items were shipped to retail locations in Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, and Wisconsin.

The issue was discovered on April 2, 2018, after a customer notified the firm of the labeling discrepancy. 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.
