May contain undeclared sulfites
Unilever United States, of Englewood Cliffs, New Jersey, in cooperation with the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA), has voluntarily recalled certain Shedd’s Country Crock chilled side-dish products because they may contain undeclared sulfites. People who have an allergy or severe sensitivity to sulfites run the risk of serious or life-threatening allergic reaction if they consume these products.
To date, the company has received one report of four family members who had adverse reactions associated with this product. The product was distributed in retail stores nationwide.
The recall was initiated after the company was notified by the co-manufacturer of the product that an ingredient containing sulfites was inadvertently used in the production of the chilled side-dish products. This issue has been addressed and safeguards have been put into place.
In addition to working in cooperation with the FDA, the company is also issuing an alert through the Food Allergy & Anaphylaxis Network. No other Shedd’s Country Crock chilled side-dish products are affected by this recall.
