Grocery chain recalls butternut squash in dinners

QUINCY, Mass. - Stop & Shop Supermarket Co. is recalling all butternut squash side dishes that are packaged with the supermarket chain’s prepared turkey and ham holiday dinners.

The recall, announced Monday, applies to all 24-ounce sides of butternut squash packaged in the holiday meals. It was issued after Stop & Shop’s vendor, Simmering Soup, Inc., recalled the product because of an undeclared egg allergen and quality concerns.

The recall does not apply to squash sold in the prepared foods department.

To date, no illnesses have been reported due to the recalled product.

Customers with questions may contact Stop & Shop Customer Service starting Tuesday at (800) 767-7772, or go to www.stopandshop.com.
