Type of Trader Joe's salad dressing recalled for 'labeling error' amid possible undeclared allergens
A salad dressing sold at Trader Joe's locations in 17 states and Washington, D.C., has been recalled because of a "labeling error." The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) made the announcement about the recall on Monday. The 12-ounce bottles of Trader Joe's Hot Honey Mustard Dressing may contain allergens, including peanut, sesame, soy and wheat, that aren't indicated on the label, according to the FDA recall notice. These bottles were sold at Trader Joe's locations in Arkansas, Colorado, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Kansas, Louisiana, Maine, Maryland, North Carolina, New Mexico, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Texas and Virginia, in addition to Washington, D.C. The recalled salad dressing bottles have a product code of 80152. They have a use-by date of May 27. California-based Fresh Creative Foods, which produced the salad dressing under the Trader Joe's brand, issued the voluntary recall on Sunday. "Customers who purchased this product may take it back to Trader Joe's for a full refund or discard the item," according to the recall notice. The recall is the third for Trader Joe's products since February, as FOX Business has previously reported. Trader Joe's announced earlier in March that glass containers of Gerolsteiner Sparkling Natural Mineral Water sold in 12 states might shatter. That followed a February announcement that the Trader Joe's Organic Acai Bowl frozen meals might contain plastic in them. Fox News Digital reached out to Trader Joe's for further comment.

Trader Joe's issued a recall on one of its healthier items. It may contain plastic
Have an organic acai bowl from Trader Joe's in your refrigerator? Before you use its mix of wild berries, bananas, dried coconut and granola in your next smoothie opt for something else from Trader Joe's or your other favorite fruit blend. What's the problem? The California-based company has urged its customers to discard or return the Trader Joe's Organic Acai Bowl to the store for a refund because the mix may include stray pieces of plastic inside the package. The acai bowl recall was not initiated by the USDA or FDA as many recalls are but rather by Trader Joe's on Feb. 14 with a brief explanation. 'Out of an abundance of caution,' the short notice read. Trader Joe's did not say how the problem occurred in the manufacturing process but did note that the suspected foreign material was plastic. What you should do The announcement added that customers with questions can call Trader Joe's Customer Relations at 626-599-3817 or send the company an email via a link to its product feedback page. Acai's dark purple berries are from a palm tree found throughout South America and are touted as an antioxidant-rich food source that some nutritionists believe can protect cells from damage, according to WebMD. Proponents say the berries are richer in antioxidants than cranberry, raspberry, blackberry, strawberry or blueberries.
