Contract manufacturer Taylor Farms Pacific, in Tracy, Calif., is recalling approximately 19,976 pounds (9.9 tons) of Kroger-branded ready-to-eat (RTE) apple walnut with chicken salad bowls due to misbranding, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS).
The product may contain wheat, a known allergen, which is not declared on the product label. There have been no confirmed reports of adverse reactions due to consumption of the recalled items.
These products were shipped to retail locations in Ala., Ariz., Calif., Colo., Idaho, Mont., Nev., N.M., Ore., Utah, Wash., and Wyo. The problem was discovered by Taylor Farms Pacific during a routine quality assurance check of ingredient labels. The contract manufacturer then notified FSIS that the product may contain wheat, which is not declared on the label.
The Kroger-branded RTE apple walnut with chicken salad bowls were produced from 2/28/24, through 3/9/24. They are identified as:
- 5.5-oz. clear plastic bowl containers with labeled Kroger Apple Walnut with Chicken Salad Kit for One, with use by dates of 03/12/24 through 03/22/24, featuring lot codes TFPM059B41, TFPM060B41, TFPM061A41, TFPM062A41, TFPM063B41, TFPM064A41, TFPM064B41, TFPM065A41, TFPM066A41, TFPM067A41, TFPM068A41, TFPM069B42, and TFPM071A41.
The products subject to recall bear establishment number “P-34013” below the use by date and lot code.
