Salad recall: Find out if your salad kits need to be thrown away – BGR

Salad kits see frequent recalls, and contamination with dangerous bacteria is often the reason why. But the Fifth Season Crunchy Sesame Salad Kits recall is different. The product doesn’t contain any microorganisms that could cause illnesses. Instead, it comes with a dressing packet that contains milk and egg without declaring the two ingredients.

People who are allergic to milk or egg, or who suffer from other milk sensitivities, risk developing side effects if they eat the salad.

What you should do

The Fifth Season Crunchy Sesame Salad Kits in the recall are still safe to eat if you are not allergic to milk or eggs. If you are not allergic to milk but are sensitive to it, you can throw out the dressing packet.

However, keeping food containing undeclared allergens in a household where allergic people live or visit is risky.

Fifth Season urges people to discard the product. The press release doesn’t mention refunds, but you can contact Fifth Season to inquire about it. Full contact information is available in the FDA announcement at this link.

Finally, you should contact your doctor if you’ve experienced any health issues after eating these salad kits. Meanwhile, the following clip should help you understand how food allergies can affect the body.
