Reason for recall
Product labeling fails to declare allergens (egg, milk, soybean oil) contained in mayonnaise and yellow american cheese used as sub-ingredients (no label)
Food allergen labelling is required by US law for the nine major allergens. A product recalled for an undeclared allergen is only a risk to people with that allergy; everyone else can consume it safely.
Product as listed by the FDA
Sadie's Salads Broccoli Salad, 8 lb and 25 lb plastic tubs
Where it was distributed
Distribution within the US to PA.
