Trader Joe's Is Recalling Three of Its Pre-Packaged Salads Due to Glass and Hard Plastic Contamination
Attention Trader Joe’s shoppers: the beloved food retailer is recalling three of its prepackaged, deli-style salads due to the fact that some of them might inadvertently include pieces of glass or hard plastic, which would make for a very sad desk lunch indeed.
According to a statement released Saturday on the Trader Joe’s website, the salads included in the recall are the white meat chicken salad, the curried white chicken deli salad, and the turkey cranberry apple salad with use-by dates from November 10 through November 21 and inspection code P-40299.
The offending white meat chicken salads (SKU 98091) and curried white chicken deli salads (SKU 96426) were sold in Arizona, California, Nevada, Utah, Colorado, Louisiana, New Mexico, Oklahoma, and Texas. The potentially polluted turkey cranberry apple salads were sold in Arizona, California, Nevada, Utah, Idaho, Oregon, and Washington and have the SKU 60983.
If you purchased one of those salads with that inspection code in one of those states, Trader Joe’s is telling customers to throw them away or return them to a retail location for a full refund. You can also call customer service at (626) 599-3817 or email them if you have any questions.
The good news is that all of the potentially dangerous products have already been removed from stores, so no future customers should be at risk. Again, if you did buy any of those salads, but they have a different inspection code, Trader Joe’s says they should be fine.
This isn’t the first time the retailer has issued a recall of its products. Last year they had to recall some of their frozen foods due to a listeria outbreak that also affected Starbucks and Chipotle. But as long as they keep selling those dark chocolate peanut butter cups, anyway, something something tells us business won’t suffer too bad for this.
