St. Louis MO Grocery Chain Recall Mislabeled Salads That Have Undeclared Egg Allergen

Dierbergs Markets, a St. Louis MO based grocery chain, is recalling the Fresh Garden Spiral Pasta Salad with an outdate of 5/31/22 in the 12oz & 2 lb self-service packages.  All implicated product was produced on Friday May 13, 2022 and sent to stores on Saturday May 14, 2022.  A Lead Assistant Deli / Seafood Manager at Lemay Dierbergs location discovered that the Broccoli Cheddar Pasta Salad was mislabeled as Fresh Garden Spiral Pasta Salad. The product labeled as Garden Spiral Pasta Salad carries an undeclared egg allergen not present on the label.

While good job to the Lead Assistant Deli / Seafood Manager for catching this, there should be better controls at the point of labeling.  For those who keep track of these types of things, this is another print and apply label issue.
