"The product may contain milk that is not declared on the label. 500 units of the salad were mistakenly packaged with a sealed packet of parmesan cheese crumbles (instead of a packet of crispy onions)," the FDA said in a statement.

People who have milk allergies or sensitivities may have an adverse reaction if the product is consumed, the FDA said, adding that there have been no reported reactions to the product in the recall.
