GA Company Recalls Chicken Salad Sandwiches That Contain Tuna Salad

GHGA, LLC. of Conley GA, part of the Renaissance Food Group, is voluntarily recalling 266, 7.8 oz. packages of Chicken Salad Croissants due to undeclared allergen in the form of fish.  The recalled product was shipped to Kroger stores in Alabama, Georgia, and South Carolina on 12/30/2021.  The recall was initiated after it was discovered that packages of the product may contain tuna salad instead of chicken salad, and fish is not declared on the label.

It is pretty easy to confuse tuna salad and chicken salad, however, for allergen labeling compliance, it is pretty important.  As part of the Food Safety Plan, a preventive control must be in place to ensure proper labeling.
