FOOD SAFETY NEWS – Little Leaf Farms is recalling a specific lot code of its Southwest Salad Kits because of the potential presence of undeclared fish and wheat allergens.
People who have an allergy or severe sensitivity to wheat and/or fish run the risk of serious or life-threatening allergic reaction if they consume these products.
The issue was identified after receiving one consumer complaint noting incorrect ingredients.
The affected product was produced during a single run on Feb. 19, 2025, resulting in one pallet of 96 cases (576 individual clamshells). Little Leaf Farms has determined that fewer than 20 individual Southwest Salad Kits were incorrectly assembled during this run.
The product was distributed in Massachusetts, Connecticut and New Hampshire.
The Southwest Salad Kits were distributed to retail stores including Ahold USA Freetown, Kilduff, Stew Leonard’s, Associated Grocers of New England, Shapiro Produce and C&S Wholesale Grocers, Inc (Hatfield) between Feb. 20-22, 2025.

Consumers who may have purchased the potentially affected Southwest Salad Kits with this lot number are asked to return it to the place of purchase for a full refund or immediately dispose of them.
