Plain-English summary

GHSE, LLC, a Green Cove Springs, Florida establishment, is recalling approximately 5,682 pounds of salad products containing chicken due to misbranding and an undeclared allergen. The specific product involved is the 11-oz. plastic clam shell container of Trader Joe's Mexicali Inspired Salad with Chili Seasoned Chicken. These items were produced between May 11, 2016, and June 29, 2016, and bear establishment number EST. P-45781 inside the USDA mark of inspection.

The recall was initiated after a plant quality assurance technician discovered during a routine check that the products exhibited an incorrect back label. While the top of the package had the correct label, the back label failed to list soy sauce as an ingredient, which is the source of the wheat. Consequently, wheat was not sub-listed in the ingredients statement or in the 'Contains' allergen declaration. The products were shipped to retail locations in Alabama, Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, and Southern Virginia.

There have been no confirmed reports of adverse reactions due to the 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. Those with questions about the recall can contact GHSE LLC at (888) 449-9386.
