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 chicken salad products labeled as Cranberry Chicken Salad. The alert was issued because the product may actually contain Classic Chicken Salad, which includes wheat, a known allergen, that is not declared on the label. The affected product is a 12-oz. clear plastic package labeled “Cranberry Chicken Salad with white meat chicken” with a use-by date of 10/25/24 and establishment number P-7573. The product was produced on September 30, 2024, and shipped to retail locations in Connecticut, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, New Jersey, and New York.

The issue was identified after the establishment received a customer complaint stating that packages labeled as Cranberry Chicken Salad contained Classic Chicken Salad. FSIS notes that a formal recall was not requested because the affected product is no longer available for purchase. However, some product may still be in consumers' refrigerators. 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, particularly those with allergies to wheat. Affected products should be thrown away or returned to the place of purchase. Anyone concerned about an illness should contact a healthcare provider.
