Creamy Caesar Dressing Recalled for Undeclared Allergens After Wrong Back Label Applied

Van Law Food Products Inc of Fullerton, California is issuing a voluntary recall of Whole Foods Market 365 Organic Creamy Caesar Dressing because it may contain undeclared Soy and Wheat allergens.  The recall was initiated after it was discovered that the product was distributed in packaging that did not reveal the presence of Soy and Wheat allergen. Subsequent investigation indicates the problem was caused by a temporary breakdown in Van Law Food Product’s labeling and packaging processes.    In this case, based upon the pictures posted on the FDA website, the wrong back label was applied...while the front label states Creamy Caesar, the back label is for Chunky Blue Cheese.   A difficulty may be that the product title back label has very small lettering placed near the bottom of the label.
