  • 12-oz. plastic containers of "Signature CafĂ© GRILLED CHICKEN CAESAR SALAD," with a Use By date of 08/26/11 through 09/02/2011 located on a sticker in the top left corner of the package.

Each package bears a label with the establishment number "P-38540" inside the USDA mark of inspection. The salads were produced between Aug. 18, 2011 and Aug. 25, 2011 and were distributed to retail grocery stores in Hawaii.

So Ono Food Products was notified of the problem by its co-manufacturer, Taylor Farms, who recalled similar products on the same day. Taylor Farms discovered the problem after learning of an adverse reaction to the consumption of a chicken salad product. FSIS and the company have not received reports of adverse reactions due to consumption of the products sold by So Ono Food Products. Anyone concerned about a reaction should contact a healthcare provider.

FSIS routinely conducts recall effectiveness checks to verify recalling firms notify their customers of the recall and that steps are taken to make certain that the product is no longer available to consumers. When available, the retail distribution list will be posted on FSIS' website at www.fsis.usda.gov/FSIS_Recalls/
