Little Leaf Farms recalls southwest salad kits for undeclared allergens

A voluntary recall has been issued for Little Leaf Farms Southwest Salad Kits with lot number SW22523-FW due to undeclared fish and wheat allergens. This action was taken after the company’s internal quality team identified a labeling error during routine checks.

The kits were primarily sold in grocery chains throughout the Northeast region, and an estimated 10,000 units are affected. The company has removed the product from distribution and is working with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to address the situation and prevent further incidents.
