Class II U.S. Food and Drug Administration

Market of Choice Vegan Kale Caesar Salad recall: Undeclared allergen (sesame). Ingredients panel does not list sesame

Recall published 5 months ago

Undeclared allergen (sesame). Ingredients panel does not list sesame as sub-ingredient of Za'atar spice and Contains statement does not declare sesame.

The hazard: Undeclared sesame

An undeclared allergen — sesame — is the whole reason for this notice. The food itself is not spoiled or contaminated.

What the notice says: Undeclared allergen (sesame). Ingredients panel does not list sesame as sub-ingredient of Za'atar spice and Contains statement does not declare sesame.

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.

What to do about Sesame

Market of Choice Inc — An undeclared allergen — sesame — is the whole reason for this notice. The food itself is not spoiled or contaminated.

  1. If anyone in your household avoids sesame, stop serving the product immediately and check whether any was used in food already prepared.
  2. If a reaction has already happened, report it to the FDA through its consumer complaint coordinator so the case is attached to this recall.
  3. Tell anyone else who eats from your kitchen, including childminders, schools and anyone catering an event you contributed to.
  4. Keep the pack if you want a refund, or photograph the label and the lot code and then bin it. If nobody in the house avoids sesame, you may simply eat it — the recall is about disclosure, not spoilage.

Refunds, and what else you can claim

The purchase price is the floor, not the ceiling. Where a recall caused you a real cost, say so.

  • Claim the refund at the store first; it is the fastest route and needs the least paperwork.
  • If you bought several packs over time, list them. Firms routinely settle for more than a single unit when a customer asks.
  • Medical costs, lost earnings or a spoiled event are not handled at the service desk. Write to the company contact on this page instead, with dates and documents.
  • Keep copies of everything you send. If a recall caused harm, that file is what any later claim rests on.
