What To Do
If you bought Jaime’s Spanish Village Jalapeno Ranch Dressing, check the lot number on the bottom of the jar against the list above. Anyone with an egg allergy should not use the product regardless of lot number, since the label doesn’t disclose it. Jaime’s Foods ATX is offering a full refund for returned product at the original place of purchase. The company says it responds to customer inquiries within 12 hours at 1-855-833-1442 or info@jaimessalsas.com.
Why the Jaime’s Jalapeno Ranch Dressing Recall Falls Under Egg Labeling Rules
Eggs are one of the nine major food allergens the FDA requires manufacturers to declare by law, alongside milk, wheat, soy, peanuts, tree nuts, fish, shellfish, and sesame (added to the list in 2023 under the FASTER Act). A product missing any of these from its label or allergen statement is treated as misbranded, which is why a labeling gap like this one, and not a contamination or spoilage issue, is enough to trigger a recall on its own.
Is This Common?
Undeclared allergens are one of the most frequent reasons the FDA issues food recalls, and eggs are among the most commonly missed allergens on small-batch and regional product labels. What stands out here is how it was caught: through a routine FDA facility inspection rather than a customer complaint or reported reaction, which is less common for a smaller regional brand like this one.
