SAN JUAN BAUTISTA, Calif.,
Oct. 21, 2017 /PRNewswire/
-- Out of an abundance of caution, Earthbound Farm LLC of
San Juan Bautista, CA is
voluntarily recalling 1,755 cases of the Earthbound Farm Organic
Chopped Asian Style Salad Kit with an expiration date of
October 24, 2017 and UPC of 32601
95134, because it was discovered that some of the bags contain the
dressing/toppings packets for the Southwest Chopped Salad Kit
rather than for the Chopped Asian Style Kit. The Southwest dressing
contains egg and milk that are not declared as ingredients on the
bag of the Asian Style Salad Kit. A consumer contacted us
after noticing the dressing packet declared "contains egg and
milk," allergens that are not declared on the label of the Asian
Style Salad Kit. The Southwest dressing packets say "Southwest" on
them. While no reactions have been reported to date, people who
have an allergy or severe sensitivity to MILK or EGG run the risk
of a serious or life-threatening allergic reaction if they consume
these products.
The product was distributed through retail stores to 29 states:
Alaska, Arizona, California, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Iowa,
Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Massachusetts, Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, North
Carolina, North Dakota,
New York, Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania, South
Carolina, Texas,
Utah, Virginia, Washington, and Wisconsin.
The product is packaged in bags labeled Earthbound Farm Organic
Chopped Asian Style Salad Kit with an expiration date of
October 24, 2017. This is the only
code date that is affected.
The recall was initiated after it was discovered that some of
the bags may contain the wrong dressing/toppings packets.
Consumers who purchased the recalled bags are urged to return
them to the place of purchase for a full refund.
Consumers with questions may contact the company at
1-800-690-3200, Monday through Friday 9 a.m.
- 4 p.m. Pacific Standard Time.
