Little Leaf Farms has issued a limited voluntary recall of Southwest Salad Kits after discovering undeclared fish and wheat allergens in some products. The recall, announced February 28, 2025, affects only products with lot number 050011 and an “Enjoy By” date of March 8, 2025.
The company initiated the recall after receiving a consumer complaint about incorrect ingredients. No illnesses have been reported so far.
“People who have an allergy or severe sensitivity to wheat and/or fish run the risk of serious or life-threatening allergic reaction if they consume these products,” the company stated in their announcement.
The recall is highly targeted, affecting only a single production run from February 19, 2025. This resulted in one pallet containing 96 cases, or approximately 576 individual clamshells. Little Leaf Farms estimates that fewer than 20 individual salad kits were incorrectly assembled during this production.
Affected products were distributed between February 20-22, 2025 to retailers in Massachusetts, Connecticut, and New Hampshire, including Ahold USA Freetown, Kilduff, Stew Leonard’s, Associated Grocers of New England, Shapiro Produce, and C&S Wholesale Grocers, Inc (Hatfield).
