'America's Choice(R) Classic Caesar Dressing'

WESTCHESTER, Ill., March 31 /PRNewswire/ -- Bay Valley Foods is recalling
535 cases of "America's Choice(R) Classic Caesar Dressing" because some of the
bottles produced in February 2008 have an incorrect ingredient label on the
back of the bottle. The incorrect label on the back includes ingredient and
nutrition information for Chunky Blue Cheese Dressing and does not declare the
presence of fish, soy and wheat. Consumers who have allergies to fish, soy and
wheat run the risk of a serious or life threatening allergic reaction if they
consume the mislabeled product.
No illnesses have been reported to date in connection with this alert, and
there is no risk to consumers who are not allergic to fish, soy and wheat.
The recalled bottles of "America's Choice Classic Caesar Dressing" were
distributed through Great Atlantic & Pacific Tea Company (A&P) stores
including A&P, Super Fresh, Food Basics USA, and Waldbaum's in Connecticut,
New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware, New York, and the District of Columbia.
The recalled product, "America's Choice Classic Caesar Dressing" comes in
a 16 ounce plastic bottle and is marked with a "best before" date code of
02-09-09 that can be found on the back label. If the ingredient label on the
back is for "Chunky Blue Cheese Dressing," consumers may return the product to
the store where it was purchased for a full refund.
