New Jersey Firm Recalls Salad with Chicken Due To Misbranding and Undeclared Allergen

Agency Publication Date: October 24, 2014

Summary

Taylor Farms New Jersey, Inc. is recalling approximately 377 pounds of Signature Café Broccoli Kale Salad with Chicken sold in 9.75-oz plastic clam shell containers. These salads were distributed to retail stores in Delaware, Maryland, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Virginia, and the District of Columbia. The recall was issued because the product contains walnuts—a known tree nut allergen—which are packaged in a separate cup inside the container but are not declared on the exterior label.

Risk

Consumers with an allergy or severe sensitivity to walnuts (tree nuts) run the risk of a serious or life-threatening allergic reaction if they consume this product. While no adverse reactions have been reported to date, the undeclared allergen was discovered during a routine check at a distributor.

What You Should Do

Check your refrigerator for 9.75-oz. plastic clam shell packages of 'Signature Café Broccoli Kale Salad with Chicken' to see if they are affected.
Verify if the package lid has any of the following 'Use By' dates: 10/23/14, 10/25/14, or 10/27/14.
Look for the establishment number 'P-34513' inside the USDA mark of inspection on the product label to confirm it is part of the recall.
If you have a walnut allergy, do not consume the product; instead, dispose of it or contact the company for instructions.
If you are concerned about a potential allergic reaction or have already consumed the product, contact a healthcare provider immediately.
