Chick-fil-A issues recall after filling packets with different sauce
If you visited Chick-fil-A between Feb. 14-27, you may have gotten a sauce packet with undisclosed allergens.
The FDA requires food producers to properly label products that are sources for food allergies, including peanuts, milk, fish and other products.
The FDA has a full list of recalled products on its website that may contain undeclared peanuts.
The USDA says that adverse effects from food allergies can take anywhere from minutes to two hours to develop. While food allergies can cause some people minor symptoms, they can also cause sudden, severe and potentially life-threatening allergic reactions.
