Reason for recall
Product labeling fails to declare allergens (wheat, soybean oil, FD&C Yellow #5) contained in the macaroni, salad dressing and pickle relish used as sub-ingredients
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.
