NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) - Mrs. Grissom's Salads is recalling
several of its cheese products due to undeclared anchovies.
The products were distributed through retail grocery and dollar
stores in Kentucky, Indiana, Tennessee, Alabama, Mississippi,
Georgia and West Virginia.
Mrs. Grissom's Salads CEO Kenneth Funger said the omission was
discovered April 8th during a routine inspection at the company's
processing and packaging plant in Nashville.
The Worcestershire sauce used in the recalled products contains
anchovies, and people who have an allergy to fish run the risk of
serious or life-threatening allergic reaction to the products.
Recalled products include the company's cheese spreads, dips and
pimento cheese spread.
Consumers who have purchased the products are urged to return it
to the place of purchase for a full refund.

I just googled the ingredients of the Original Lea & Perrins Worcestershire Sauce and it does indeed contain Anchovies! No wonder they keep the stuff wrapped up in brown paper!
