Price Chopper Supermarkets is issuing a voluntary recall on Gourmet
Stuffed Clams from its seafood departments with a scale code of
20918100000.
Price Chopper operates stores in Potsdam, Canton, Gouverneur, Ogdensburg
and Massena in St. Lawrence County.
The stuffed clams are being recalled because they contain milk,
wheat and eggs, which are known allergens and are not listed on
the store-generated ingredient label.
Other than the labeling issue, the product is safe for consumption
for those not allergic to the known allergens, store officials say.
The stuffed clams were sold chain wide in Price Chopper seafood
departments between October 1 and December 23, 2011. The label has
been updated to correctly reflect all of the ingredients contained
in the product.
In addition to alerting the media, Price Chopper has initiated its
Smart Reply notification program, which uses purchase data and consumer
phone numbers on file in connection with the company's AdvantEdge
(loyalty) card to alert those households that may have purchased
the product in question.
Customers can return the product to their local Price Chopper for
a full refund.

website or call Price Chopper at 1-800-666-7667, option 3 between
the hours of 8:30am and 7:00pm.
