From Salinas Valley: Fresh Express Romaine Recall Due To Possible Allergens

SALINAS, CA – Fresh Express Inc. is recalling 32-ounce bags of Fresh Express Chopped Romaine with a Product Code of G034A06A and Use-By Date of February 19 due to a possible exposure to undeclared allergens.

No illnesses are reported, and this is a precautionary recall, the company said.

The recall stems from sealed condiment packets, containing individual packets of dressing, croutons and parmesan cheese used in the brand’s Caesar salads, being mistakenly placed in some bags of the chopped romaine product.

Ingredients in the individual packets include milk, eggs, wheat and fish, and the recall is intended to protect those who may be allergic to the items, the company said.

Consumers with the recalled product should discard it, and a refund is available where purchased or by contacting the Fresh Express Consumer Response Center toll-free at (800) 242-5472 during the hours of 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. Eastern Time.
