Both companies were notified of the problem by its co-manufacturer, Taylor Farms.

The problem was discovered by FSIS and Taylor Farms when a consumer had a reaction after consuming the Caesar salad. The consumer had a known allergy to eggs and suspected that eggs were an ingredient in the Caesar salad dressing.
