Whole Foods is now recalling some of its “chicken salad” because it contains no chicken.

One of their poultry suppliers mistakenly sent the retailer a shipment of “chicken salad” that contained tuna—not chicken. The Willow Tree Poultry Farm, of Attleboro, Mass., recalled 440 pounds of “buffalo-style chicken salad,” which actually contained tuna.

Whole Foods employees found the problem while unpacking the product, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA).

Specifically, they’re 12.5 oz. individual plastic containers of “buffalo style chicken salad,” the USDA stated.

“Consumers who have purchased these products are urged not to consume them. These products should be thrown away or returned to the place of purchase,” the release stated.

More details were not released.
