The product labeled as Cranberry Chicken Salad may actually contain Classic Chicken Salad, which contains wheat, a known allergen, that is not declared on the product label. FSIS is issuing this public health alert to ensure that consumers with allergies to wheat are aware that this product should not be consumed. A recall was not requested because the affected product is no longer available for purchase. The Classic Chicken Salad labeled as Cranberry Chicken Salad was produced on September 30, 2024.

These items were shipped to retail locations in Connecticut, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, New Jersey, and New York. The problem was discovered when the establishment notified FSIS that it received a customer complaint that packages labeled as Cranberry Chicken Salad contained Classic Chicken Salad.
