Plain-English summary

The U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) issued a public health alert for ready-to-eat salad products containing meat and poultry produced by Charlie's Produce. The alert was issued because the salad dressing components may contain undeclared allergens, including egg, milk, peanut, or wheat, which are not listed on the product labels.

The affected products were produced between March 8, 2022, and March 17, 2022, and bear establishment number P-38458. Specific items include 12-oz. containers of Charlie's Delivered Fresh Daily Southwest Salad and Chicken BLT Salad, as well as 11-oz. containers of Signature Café Thai Style Salad with White Meat Chicken. These products were shipped to retail and food service locations in Alaska. The issue was discovered after a consumer complaint regarding incorrect salad dressing in the packaging.

There have been no confirmed reports of adverse reactions from consuming these products. FSIS has verified that the affected products are no longer available for sale but warns that some may still be in consumers' refrigerators. 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.
