Buffalo Cauliflower Bites and Caesar Dressing and Dip Recalled for Missing Anchovies in Blue Cheese Dressing

Russ Davis Wholesale of Wadena, Minnesota is voluntarily recalling Kowalski’s brand Buffalo Cauliflower Bites with Kowalski’s Steakhouse Blue Dressing because the Blue Cheese Dressing contains undeclared fish (anchovies). Russ Davis Wholesale of Wadena, Minnesota is voluntarily recalling Kowalski’s brand Buffalo Cauliflower Bites with Kowalski’s Steakhouse Blue Dressing because the Blue Cheese Dressing contains undeclared fish (anchovies).

In a similar, and but potentially recall, Litehouse Inc. is voluntarily recalling a limited quantity of its Brite Harbor Caesar Dressing & Dip 1.5 oz pillows because it may contain undeclared anchovies. The voluntary recall was initiated after it was discovered that product labeling stated Caesar [which was correct] on the Front label and Blue Cheese on the back [which would not have any anchovies on it]. Subsequent investigation indicates the problem was caused by a packaging error.

So these could be related if Russ Wholesale bought the Litehouse Blue cheese dressing to use in their product, but in reality received the mislabeled Caesar (and then nobody saw the label disparity). If this were the case, then the procedures for the facility producing the Cauliflower bites would have to be include a closer evaluation of the ingredients. Interesting to consider.
