The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service said 5,300 pounds of the ready-to-eat product was recalled due to misbranding and undeclared allergens.
“The product labeled as pasta salad may actually contain chicken salad, which contains egg and milk, known allergens, that are not declared on the product label,” the federal agency said.
The product, sold in a 5-pound plastic tub, was produced on June 11 and is labeled as “Molly’s Kitchen California Style Pasta Salad.”
The company notified the agency of the mislabeling.
Distributors in Alabama, Florida, North Carolina, New Jersey, South Carolina, Tennessee, and Virginia received the product.
“FSIS is concerned that some product may be in consumers’ refrigerators,” the agency said. No illnesses have been reported.
This follows July recalls of two products also sold to South Carolina grocery stores.
Amy’s Kitchen recalled organic lentil light soup and Pillsbury recalled two varieties of bread rolls sold to Walmart bakeries.
The voluntary recall of Amy’s Kitchen soup was due a defect with the can’s pull tab, leading to the possibility of spoilage, the company said.
The recall affected more than 184,000 cans of soup, distributed to 28 states. In addition to South Carolina, they are Arizona, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, Iowa, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Maryland, Maine, Minnesota, Missouri, North Carolina, New Hampshire, New Jersey, Nevada, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia, Washington and Wisconsin. Parts of Canada also received some of the defective cans, the Food and Drug Administration said.
The FDA said two Pillsbury products sold to Walmart bakeries in 19 states were recalled due to possible foreign material contamination, specifically glass.
Pillsbury Bread Rolls, Hard Dough and Kaiser Roll Dough were to be baked by retailers, not sold directly to consumers.
Walmart stores in these states received the product: Arkansas, California, Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Louisiana, Maine, Missouri, New Mexico, New York, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia, Washington, Wyoming.

Also in July, frozen organic blueberries sold at Publix were recalled due to the possibility they are contaminated with a harmful strain of E. Coli bacteria, which can cause severe stomach cramps, diarrhea and vomiting.
Twelve cases of stomach illness were reported between May 11 and June 5, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration said.
The berries are from Frutas y Hortalizas del Sur S.A. in San Carlos, Chile and were shipped to Publix stores in Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee and Virginia.
Publix said in its announcement that most healthy individuals recover within a week, but some may experience a serious complication known as hemolytic uremic syndrome. That is more likely in young children, older adults, and individuals with weakened immune systems.
In December, a million bags of shredded cheese were recalled in South Carolina and 30 other states.
Manufactured by Great Lakes Cheese Company of Hiram, Ohio, the company said the product may contain metal fragments.
This is the same company that recalled shredded cheese for having metal fragments in October.
The cheese was sold under dozens of brand names at Target, Walmart, Aldi and other major retailers.
The Food and Drug Administration said the types of cheeses were shredded mozzarella, shredded Italian-style, shredded pizza-style, mozzarella and provolone shredded blends and mozzarella and parmesan shredded cheese blends.
Among the brands recalled were Borden, Laura Lynn, Lucerne Dairy Farms, Good & Gather, Freedom’s Choice, Econo, Food Club and Happy Farms.
The FDA said there is uncertainty about a recalled product err on the side of safety and throw it out.
The FDA says the cheese was distributed to Alabama, Arkansas, Arizona, California, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Minnesota, Missouri, Mississippi, North Carolina, Nebraska, New Mexico, Nevada, New York, Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Virginia, Washington, Wisconsin, as well as Puerto Rico.
