United States

The FSIS announced the recall of approximately 1,202 pounds of ready-to-eat (RTE) chicken salad product by Ukrop’s Homestyle Foods due to misbranding and an undeclared allergen. The product may contain almonds, a known allergen, which are not declared on the product label.

The RTE chicken salad item was produced on August 26, 2020. The following product is subject to recall:

- 15-oz. round plastic containers containing “Ukrop’s Chicken Salad” with a sell by date of “09/02/20”.

The product subject to recall bears establishment number “P-19979” inside the USDA mark of inspection. These items were shipped to retail locations in North Carolina, Ohio, Virginia, and West Virginia. The problem was discovered after the firm received a consumer complaint reporting that the product contained almonds.
