Bakkavor Foods of San Antonio, Texas, is recalling about 1,913 pounds of Simply Eat HEB Meal Simple ready-to-eat curry chicken salad because it may contain pecans, or tree nuts, one of the major food allergens. Anyone who is allergic to pecans could have a serious allergic reaction if they eat this product. No confirmed reports of illness or allergic reactions have been received to date.
The chicken salad products are labeled as “Curry Chicken Salad,” but actually contain Tarragon Chicken Salad, which includes the pecans. The recalled product is packaged in a 12 pounce clear plastic squared container of “Simply Eat HEB Meal Simple Curry Chicken Salad.”
The product has a best by date of 08/28/2019. And the recalled product has the establishment number “P-46445” inside the USDA mark of inspection. They were shipped to a chain of retail grocery store locations in Texas. The problem was discovered by the company during a review of production records.
FSIS is concerned that some of this product may still be in consumers’ refrigerators. If you purchased this salad and cannot eat pecans or tree nuts, don’t eat it. Throw it away or take it back to the place of purchase for a full refund.
The USDA is conducting retail effectiveness checks to make sure the salad is being removed from store shelves and is not longer available to consumers. If and when the retail distribution list is posted, it will be on the FSIS web site.
