Chicken Recall: Major Allergen Missing From Label

There are nine major food allergens, as classified by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). That’s why, whenever these foods are present in a product, their label must indicate this fact. Still, mistakes can happen, causing a product to be mislabeled. That’s what happened to Hannaford’s brand of Breaded Chicken Cutlets. Due to a mislabeling, consumers were not made aware that the product contains milk, one of the major allergens.

This recall was officially issued by the retailer on July 17. Since then, all of the products that were affected have been removed from store shelves. That being said, it’s still very important that consumers check their own homes for the product to ensure their safety.

Below, you’ll find the info needed to identify the affected products:

As of the time this article is being written, Hannaford has confirmed that there are no reported illnesses due to this mislabeling. That being said, if you or someone you know is allergic to milk, it’s important to stay aware of any symptoms.

This is especially true of allergic reactions that may require medical attention. Signs of anaphylaxis, a fatal reaction to an allergen, include shortness of breath, hives, vomiting, weak pulse, and more.

So, what should you do if you have this recalled product in your home? First, there’s always the option to simply throw it away. That being said, you can also return the product for a full refund.

If you have any questions or concerns about this recall, please call your local Hannaford store or their consumer relations number: 1-800-213-9040. Stay safe, everyone!
