The agency’s classification
USDA FSIS: Public Health Alert
Public Health Alert is a warning FSIS issues when there is a food-safety concern but a recall is not requested, typically because the affected product is no longer available for purchase.
This is the agency’s own classification, taken from its notice. The severity score below is our assessment, not the agency’s. How recall classes work
What this means for you
Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 3/5 (High).
Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.
Our severity reasoning: The recall involves allergen mislabeling on common allergens (wheat and fish) without reported illness, which meets the criteria for a High severity score.
Plain-English summary
The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) issued a public health alert for 11.75-oz. bowls of Bistro Grande Southwestern Style with Chicken with Salsa Ranch Dressing. The product was misbranded; it may actually contain Chicken Caesar Salad, which includes wheat and fish (anchovies), known allergens that are not declared on the label.
The affected bowls were packaged on May 28, 2024, and shipped to retail locations in California and Nevada. The issue was identified after a consumer complaint indicated the product contained Chicken Caesar Salad. No confirmed reports of adverse reactions have been received. Because the product is no longer available for purchase, a formal recall was not requested, but FSIS warns that some units may still be in consumers' refrigerators.
Consumers with allergies to wheat or fish should not consume this product. Anyone who has purchased the affected bowls should throw them away or return them to the place of purchase. Consumers can contact Ready Pac Food, Inc. at 800-800-7822 or [email protected] for questions.
