Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Approximately 10,263 units of various fresh salads, dressings, and meal kits, including brands like Freshness Guaranteed and First Street, have been recalled because they may contain pieces of hard clear plastic. The contamination was discovered during manufacturing and was traced back to ice purchased from a third-party supplier. These products were sold at major retailers including Walmart and Kroger across 20 states. Consumers should check their refrigerators for these items and return them to the store for a full refund.

Risk

The presence of hard clear plastic in food products poses a choking hazard and a risk of physical injury to the mouth, throat, or digestive tract if swallowed. While no injuries have been explicitly reported in this notice, the sharp nature of hard plastic fragments is a significant safety concern.

What You Should Do

  1. Immediately check your refrigerator for any of the affected products, including Thai Peanut Dressing, Lemon Capellini Salad, Basil Pesto Sauce, Thai Noodle Salad, Broccoli Cheddar Pasta Salad, and various Pasta Salad or Enchilada Kits.
  2. Verify the 'Use By' dates and Lot numbers on the packaging to confirm if your specific item is part of the recall. Affected dates range from March 9, 2022, to June 10, 2022.
  3. If you identify an affected product, do not consume it. Either dispose of the product immediately or set it aside to return.
  4. Return the affected product to the place of purchase (such as Walmart or Kroger) to receive a full refund.
  5. For further questions regarding this recall, you may contact the FDA Consumer Complaint hotline at 1-888-723-3332 (1-888-SAFEFDA) or visit www.fda.gov/safety/recalls.
