Good Foods recalls chicken products due to misbranding

The products contain tree nuts, specifically cashews, a known allergen, which is not declared on the product label.

The ready-to-eat curry chicken salad items were produced on March 27, 2018.

FSIS said that the problem had been discovered on April 2, 2018 when the firm was notified by a customer that the deli cup container for the curry chicken salad products had a correct label on the lid, but an incorrect label on the side of the cup.

The company inadvertently labeled the side of the containers with labels for Artichoke & Jalapeno Dip, which does not contain cashews. Therefore, tree nuts (cashews) are not listed in the ingredient statement applied to the side of the cup.

According to the food safety authorities there have been no confirmed reports of adverse reactions due to consumption of these products.

Consumers who have purchased these products are urged not to consume them. These products should be thrown away or returned to the place of purchase.
