World Variety Produce announced a recall for a brand of Melissa’s potatoes that might contain an undeclared allergen.
A Melissa’s potatoes product was hit with a recall because it contains eggs, and the ingredient is not listed on the label. Potatoes alone do not contain traces of egg, but the Melissa’s Dutch Red Potatoes recall covers a product that ships with Dijon Mustard Sauce. The sauce is the likely culprit here.
The problem with eggs is that some people are allergic to them. As a result, they risk developing potentially life-threatening adverse effects after eating the potatoes.
World Variety Produce Inc. recently announced a recall for a single product: Melissa’s Dutch Red Potatoes with Dijon Mustard Sauce. The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) posted the announcement at this link.
World Variety doesn’t explain how the problem occurred or why the potatoes contain undeclared eggs. But the company says it has received no reports of illness so far.
