Plain-English summary
Ghiringhelli Specialty Foods, Inc., a Vallejo, California establishment, is recalling approximately 2,444 pounds of poultry products due to mislabeling and undeclared allergens. The specific product involved is 9-oz. plastic clamshell containers of Trader Giotto's Caesar Salad with Chicken Breast, bearing plant number P-17156 and a USE BY date of 06/28. These items were produced on June 22, 2016.
The recall was initiated because the products contain soy, wheat, and fish (anchovies), which are known allergens not declared on the product label. Additionally, the recalled Caesar Salad products are missing the statement "May Contain Traces of Shellfish," which is typically present on these items. The company notified the Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) of the mislabeling on June 25, 2016, after receiving notice of the issue from a customer. The products have the correct label on the top of the package but exhibit an incorrect back label for Trader Joe's Chicken & Roast Beet Salad.
The recalled items were shipped to retail locations in California, Colorado, Idaho, Louisiana, Nevada, Oklahoma, Oregon, Texas, Utah, and Washington. There have been no confirmed reports of adverse reactions due to consumption of these products. Consumers who have purchased these products are urged not to consume them and should throw them away or return them to the place of purchase.
