Litehouse Inc: Brite Harbor Caesar Dressing Recalled for Undeclared Anchovies

Agency Publication Date: February 25, 2021

Summary

Litehouse Inc is recalling 225 cases of Brite Harbor Caesar Dressing & Dip (1.5 oz pillows/pouches) because the product contains anchovies, which are not listed on the back label. This packaging error occurred because the back label incorrectly identifies the product as 'Blue Cheese Dressing.' Consumers who purchased these pouches in AZ, CA, ID, MI, OR, WA, or WI should return them to the place of purchase for a full refund.

Risk

The product contains anchovies, a fish allergen, which is not declared on the ingredient list. People who have an allergy or severe sensitivity to anchovies (fish) run the risk of a serious or life-threatening allergic reaction if they consume this product.

What You Should Do

Check your pantry for Brite Harbor Caesar Dressing & Dip in 1.5 oz pillow pouches (item # 16002).
Inspect the back label of the pouch; affected products will incorrectly state 'BLUE CHEESE DRESSING' and list 'Egg, Milk' but will fail to list anchovies.
Verify the lot code on the individual pouches: Look for code '03 071321 16002' with a 'Best if Used By' date of July 13, 2021.
If you have the master case, check for lot code '16002 03 07/13/21 NON-REF'.
Do not consume the dressing if you have a fish allergy; either discard the product or return it to the place of purchase for a full refund.
