Plain-English summary

Missa Bay, LLC, a Swedesboro, N.J. establishment, is recalling approximately 1,719 pounds of chicken caesar salad products due to misbranding and an undeclared allergen. The product contains wheat, a known allergen, which is not declared on the product label. The specific product subject to recall is the 9.95 oz. plastic salad bowl containing Cumberland FARMS CHICKEN CAESAR SALAD with romaine lettuce, roasted chicken, parmesan cheese, bacon, multigrain croutons & creamy caesar dressing, with a use by date of August 16, 2017.

The problem was discovered when the establishment received notification from the sole retailer that the incorrect ingredient label was applied to the products. The label stated that the products were made without gluten-containing ingredients; however, the chicken caesar salad contains croutons made with wheat. These items were shipped to Cumberland Farms retail locations in Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New York, Rhode Island, and Vermont.

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.
