Whole Foods Market is recalling two kinds of bulk curried salad- chicken and vegan, because they may contain undeclared allergens of egg and soy. Labels for the products were accidentally reversed. The vegan “chick’n” salad contains soy, and the curried chicken salad contains egg.
Consumers with egg or soy allergies should not consume these products. No illnesses have been reported in association with this recall.
The recalled products were sold at salad bars on May 7 and May 8 at the following 15 stores: Darien, CT; Fairfield, CT; West Hartford, CT; Portland, ME; Framingham, MA; Fresh Pond in Cambridge, MA; Milburn-Union, NJ; Montclair, NJ; Rose City-Madison, NJ; West Orange, NJ; Jericho, NY; Lake Grove, NY; Manhasset, NY; Columbus Circle in New York City and Upper West Side in New York City. Each of the locations has signage is posted in affected stores notifying customers of this recall. All affected product has been removed from the salad bar.
Good report! Thank you for caring enough to inform the public about these ‘accidents’. People need to know about these kinds of things whether they are vegan or weather they are meat-eaters. I suspect, though, that it was a labeling ‘error’ by the designers of the products who were ‘hastily’ working for manufacturers and had nothing to do with Whole Foods Market at all.
