Allergy Alert: Mislabeled Pasta Salad Recalled
27 Jun
Summary
- Thousands of pounds of pasta salad recalled for undeclared allergens.
- Product mislabeled as pasta salad may contain chicken salad.
- Recall impacts consumers in seven states due to egg and milk allergens.
Consumers in seven states are advised to check their refrigerators for a recalled ready-to-eat pasta salad. Reser's Fine Foods initiated the recall for approximately 5,300 pounds of product due to potential undeclared allergens.
The mislabeled product was sold as 'Molly's Kitchen California Style Pasta Salad.' However, some containers may erroneously contain ready-to-eat chicken salad. This presents a serious health risk for individuals with egg or milk allergies, as these ingredients are not listed on the pasta salad label.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food Safety and Inspection Service announced the recall on Thursday, June 25. The error was discovered when Reser's Fine Foods alerted the agency about the mistaken labeling. Consumers who purchased the affected product should discard it or return it to the place of purchase. No confirmed illnesses have been reported in connection with this recall.
