Reser’s Macaroni Salad Recalled for Undeclared Allergens

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has alerted consumers that Reser’s Fine Foods, Inc., headquartered in Beaverton, Oregon, has issued a voluntary recall for 529 cases of its 16-ounce “Reser’s Macaroni Salad.” These products contain two allergens, milk and soy, which are not listed on the packages’ labelling. For those who are allergic to these allergens, consuming this macaroni salad may result in serious illness or a potentially fatal allergic reaction.

The 16-ounce plastic containers of the affected product are stamped with a “Use By” Date of April 24, 2017 on the edge of the lid. The UPC number, located on the side panel of the package, is: 71117.19007.

The cases of macaroni salad were sent to grocery retailers and distributors in the states of Alabama, Colorado, Georgia, Kansas, Louisiana, Maryland, Missouri, Mississippi, New York, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Texas, and Wisconsin. Reser’s became aware of the faulty labelling after people who bought the macaroni salad called the company to complain that it did not seem consistent with the product they were used to purchasing.

Those who bought affected containers of Reser’s Macaroni Salad should throw them away. They can also return them to the place of purchase for a full refund.
