Class I U.S. Food and Drug Administration

Dreamland's Zaatar Chickpea Salad is packaged in poly bags recall: Undeclared Sesame, Soy, Wheat

Recall published 7 months ago

Undeclared Sesame, Soy, Wheat

The hazard: Undeclared sesame

The product contains sesame that the packaging never declared. If nobody in your home avoids sesame, there is no health reason to throw it away — though the refund still stands.

What the notice says: Undeclared Sesame, Soy, Wheat

Why it matters: The label does not declare sesame, so anyone who reads labels to avoid it has no way of knowing it is in there. For people without that allergy the product is safe to eat.

Symptoms and when to call a doctor

An undeclared allergen is a danger only to people allergic or intolerant to that ingredient. For everyone else the food is safe. Reactions range from an itchy mouth, hives, stomach cramps or vomiting through to anaphylaxis — swelling of the lips, tongue or throat, a tight chest, wheezing, a sudden drop in blood pressure or collapse. If anaphylaxis is suspected, use an epinephrine auto-injector straight away and call 911, even if the symptoms seem to settle, because a second wave can follow hours later.

Products covered by this recall

Dreamland's Zaatar Chickpea Salad is packaged in poly bags with a generic label which declares "chickpeas, cumin, zataar, turmeric, dill, onion, garlic, parsley". Dreamland distributed bulk cases (2/5lbs. bags per case) to Haggen store. Bulk 5lbs. bags were not sold directly to consumers. Haggen stores unpacked 5lb. bags of chickpea salad into cold food pan at salad bar (without mixing with other ingredients), consumers packed product in grab & go containers, and Haggen applied scale label when members paid at the register.

What to do about Sesame

Dreamland Inc — The product contains sesame that the packaging never declared. If nobody in your home avoids sesame, there is no health reason to throw it away — though the refund still stands.

  1. If anyone in your household avoids sesame, stop serving the product immediately and check whether any was used in food already prepared.
  2. Make sure the household epinephrine auto-injector is where it should be and in date, if someone here carries one.
  3. If a reaction has already happened, report it to the FDA through its consumer complaint coordinator so the case is attached to this recall.
  4. Tell anyone else who eats from your kitchen, including childminders, schools and anyone catering an event you contributed to.

Getting a refund without the pack

The commonest reason people skip the refund is that they have already thrown the item away. That rarely matters.

  • A photo of the label and lot code is accepted by most grocers, and so is a card statement line showing the purchase.
  • Store credit is often offered first. You can ask for the original payment method instead, and it is normally granted.
  • No photo either? Ask anyway. Grocery chains settle recall refunds at the service desk because disputing them costs more than paying them.
  • For a multi-pack or a case, ask for the full purchase price rather than a per-unit figure — the recall covers what you paid.
