West Hartford Whole Foods Recalls Mislabeled Salad

WEST HARTFORD, CT - Whole Foods stores in West Hartford and Darien are recalling 10-ounce packages of Asparagus, Pea and Ricotta salad "because it was mislabeled and actually contained miniature Asparagus, Sun Dried Tomato and Swiss Frittatas," according to the Food and Drug Administration.

The company's stores in those two communities are the only ones in Connecticut that sold the mislabeled product.

According to the FDA, the product was produced at the Whole Foods Market North Atlantic Kitchen in Everett, MA, and due to the labeling error, an egg allergen was undeclared.

"People who have an allergy or severe sensitivity to eggs run the risk of serious or life-threatening allergic reaction if they consume this product," said the FDA in a statement, but the agency added that no illnesses or reactions have been reported.

In addition to the two stores in Connecticut, Whole Foods sold the salad in several stores in New Jersey, New York, Massachusetts and Rhode Island, and signs have been posted at the affected stores to warn customers.

"Consumers who have purchased this product from Whole Foods Market may return it to the store for a full refund," stated the FDA. "Consumers with questions should contact their local store or call 617-492-5500 between the hours of 9am and 5pm EST."
