A.S.K. Foods, Inc. has just recalled a single lot of its “TASTE OF INSPIRATIONS CLASSIC RED SKIN POTATO SALAD” from the Hannaford Supermarkets where it is sold. According to the U.S. Food & Drug Administration, this potato salad may contain eggs, which were not mentioned on the package labeling. A.S.K. Foods, Inc. is headquartered in Palmyra, Pennsylvania.
The potato salad affected by the recall were distributed to Hannaford Supermarkets in the states of Massachusetts, Maine, New Hampshire, New York, and Vermont. It was packaged in 16-ounce clear plastic containers stamped with a “SELL BY” date of “10-20-17 4909-1” and the incorrect UPC code 25439 98422. The labeling error occurred when the ingredient and nutrition label from a different product, “Taste of Inspirations Rotini Salad,” was erroneously applied to the potato salad containers.
Egg can be a very harmful allergen to people who are sensitive to it, who may become seriously ill if they consume this potato salad. Instead, packages should be thrown away or returned to their place of purchase for a full refund.
The symptoms of an allergic reaction can include tingling mouth, tongue, and lips, hives, a flare of eczema, redness around the mouth or eyes, sneezing, nasal congestion, a slight, dry cough, an odd taste in the mouth, and itchy ears. More serious symptoms may include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and stomach pain.
More serious symptoms can include shortness of breath, wheezing, trouble swallowing, and swelling of the lips, tongue, and or throat. Anyone experiencing these symptoms should be taken to a doctor immediately.
