Trader Joe's Egg Salad, Old Fashioned Potato Salad Recalled Over Possible Listeria Contamination

MIAMI (CBSMiami) – Trader Joe's egg salad and old fashioned potato salad are being recalled due to potential listeria contamination.

According to the FDA, the recalled 6-ounce packages of egg salad and 20-ounce containers of old fashioned potato salad have "use by" dates up to and including Dec. 17, 2019.

The UPC code for the recalled egg salad cups is 0066 6695. The potato salad code is 0032 1747.
