The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has announced that Silver Spring Foods, Inc. has recalled its “WATERFRONT BISTRO TARTAR SAUCE” product. This tartar sauce may contain egg, an allergen that was not listed on the product labels on the back of the bottles. This mislabeling occurred when the labels for another product produced by the company, “Hot Cocktail Sauce,” were inadvertently attached to the tartar sauce containers.
Silver Springs Foods shipped the mislabeled tartar sauce to the following stores: Albertsons, Amigos, Jewel-Osco, Lucky, Market Street, Pak N Save, Pavilions, Randall’s, Safeway, Shaw’s, Star Market, Super Saver, Tom Thumb, United Supermarkets, and Vons. These stores operate in the states of Arizona, Arkansas, California, Delaware, Florida, Hawaii, Iowa, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Louisiana, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Mexico, North Dakota, Oregon, Rhode Island, South Dakota, Texas, Utah, Vermont, Virginia, Washington, Washington D.C., and Wyoming.
The tartar sauce bottles affected by the recall are stamped with the erroneous “Hot Cocktail Sauce” UPC barcode: 21130 12242. They are also marked with “Best By” dates of either JUL 31 18 S3551 or AUG 28 18 S3351.
People who are allergic to eggs should not consume these lots of “Waterfront Bistro Tartar Sauce.” Instead, they should dispose of the bottles properly or return them to their place of purchase for a full refund.
