“Recall: Huxtables Kitchen Salads with Undeclared Nitrites.” GovInfoNow, updated October 12, 2026. https://govinfonow.com/recall/1275471-recall-notification-report-salad-products.

Why it’s dangerous
The bacon used in these salads contains nitrites, which were not listed on the ingredient label. This misbranding poses a risk to consumers who need to avoid nitrites for health reasons, as they cannot identify the allergen by reading the package.
Who’s affected
Consumers who purchased the recalled salad trays from retail locations in Idaho, Oregon, or Washington between July 14 and July 22, 2015. Individuals with nitrite allergies or sensitivities are at risk of an allergic reaction.
