Why it’s dangerous

Who’s affected
Consumers who purchased the recalled salads from retail locations in California, Colorado, Idaho, Louisiana, Nevada, Oklahoma, Oregon, Texas, Utah, and Washington. Individuals with allergies to soy, wheat, fish, or shellfish are at the highest risk.
How to tell if you have this one
Look for 9-ounce plastic clamshell containers of TRADER GIOTTOS CAESAR SALAD WITH CHICKEN BREAST. Check the label for USE BY date 06/28 and plant number P-17156 inside the USDA mark of inspection. The back label may incorrectly read 'Trader Joe's Chicken & Roast Beet Salad'.
