Trader Joe's issues recall over ‘labeling error' for salad dressing — this is what it means
Trader Joe's has issued a recall of one of its popular salad dressings after a number of incorrectly labeled bottles hit the shelves. Fresh Creative Foods announced on Sunday that it was 'voluntarily recalling' certain bottles of its Trader Joe's Hot Honey Mustard Dressing due to a 'labeling error.' The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has since published the notice, which stated that dressing bottles with a Use By Date of May 27, 2025, were incorrectly labeled with a nutrition sticker that did not accurately include an allergy warning for peanuts, soy, sesame or wheat. The affected dressings have the product code 80152 and were sold at Trader Joe's locations in Arkansas, Colorado, Washington D.C., Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Kansas, Louisiana, Maine, Maryland, North Carolina, New Mexico, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Texas and Virginia. Customers who purchased the product may either take it back to Trader Joe's for a full refund or discard it. At this time, no customer complaints have been reported, according to the FDA. Should customers have any questions, they can call Fresh Creative Foods at 888-223-2127. The Independent has approached Trader Joe's for commment. This latest recall is Trader Joe's third since February. Last month, the grocery store chain recalled 61,500 bottles of its Gerolsteiner Sparkling Natural Mineral Water over a 'laceration hazard.' The company warned that certain lot codes of the imported German product 'may have the potential for cracked/damaged bottles.' 'The issue was identified by research related to bottle breakage during production and potentially affects 1% of bottles in the lot codes above,' a news release read. Meanwhile, Trader Joe's was forced to issue a recall of its Organic Acai Bowls in February out of concern that they may have contained plastic. 'Out of an abundance of caution, please discard any Trader Joe's Organic Acai Bowls, as the product may contain foreign material (plastic), or return them to your neighborhood Trader Joe's store for a full refund,' the company said. The recall did not contain information detailing the lot numbers affected or specifying a range of dates when the affected products were made or sold. Of the recalls, Trader Joe's spokesperson, Nakia Rohde, told Fox News Digital: 'At Trader Joe's, nothing is more important than the health and safety of our customers and crew members. 'With this in mind, we do the daily work to make certain our products meet our stringent food safety expectations. We don't take any chances when it comes to product safety and quality.'

According to the company's news release, 'certain lot codes may have the potential for cracked/damaged bottles.' The affected lot codes are either 2024/28/11 24 2027/19/12 or 024/271/11 24 2027/18/12.

Trader Joe's has asked customers who have purchased bottles from the affected lots to not use them and to either throw them away or return them to the grocery store chain for a full refund. Last month, Trader Joe's recalled their Organic Acai Bowls over the concern that the bowls may contain plastic. The grocer recommended throwing away or returning the boxes to a Trader Joe's location for a full refund.

Danone, the parent company of International Delight coffee creamer, originally issued a voluntary recall on February 21. On Wednesday, the United States Food and Drug Administration upgraded the recall to its second-highest risk level, a Class II recall. According to the FDA, a Class II recall means using or being exposed to the product may 'cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences.' The recall only applies to two specific flavors of the coffee creamer: 32-ounce bottles of Hazelnut creamer and 32-ounce bottles of Cinnabon Classic Cinnamon Roll. The total number of recalled creamer bottles was 75,054. Their expiration dates are listed as July 2, 2025, and July 3, 2025, respectively. Both recalled bottles have a producing plant code of 51-4114 R-S. Thirty-one states received shipments of the creamer bottles: Alabama, Arkansas, Colorado, Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Maine, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Mississippi, North Carolina, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia, Wisconsin, and Wyoming.

The defect, which concerned the pull tab on the tuna cans, was said to potentially 'compromise the integrity of the product seal (especially over time), causing it to leak, or worse, be contaminated with clostridium botulinum, a potentially fatal form of food poisoning,' according to Tri-Union Seafoods of El Segundo, California, which initiated the recall. The recall notice, published by the Food and Drug Administration, indicated the tuna had also been sold under the Genova, Van Camp's, and H-E-B brand names. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.

A Popular Trader Joe's Frozen Item Was Just Recalled For Possible 'Foreign Material'
Turns out, you should skip the frozen acai bowl for breakfast this week and maybe opt for Deep-Dish Loaded Hashbrown Casserole, instead. On February 14, 2025, beloved supermarket chain Trader Joe's issued yet another food recall for potential plastic contamination—this time, affecting Organic Acai Bowls in their freezer aisle. According to an announcement on the company's website, Trader Joe's is recalling the popular frozen fruit product with berries, bananas, granola, and dried coconut 'out of an abundance of caution,' citing that the bowls 'may contain foreign material (plastic).' Surprisingly, they didn't specify best-by dates or UPC codes in the recall, nor how many units of Organic Acai Bowls were affected. They also did not report if there have been any injuries reported with the recall to date. Instead, the company urged customers to throw away any bowls in their freezer or return the Organic Acai Bowls to their local Trader Joe's for a full refund. Trader Joe's has had several major product recalls in the last year. In mid-February, they were included in a seafood recall that pulled half-a-million cans of tuna from shelves. In October 2024, over 1,200 cases of green onions were recalled for potential salmonella contamination. In August, they recalled over 650,000 mango tangerine scented candles, and in March, nearly 62,000 pounds of frozen soup dumplings—also over fears that the product contained hard plastic.
