Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Hans Kissle is recalling its Red Potato Bliss Salad due to an undeclared wheat allergen discovered in a labeling error. Newsweek reached out to the company for comment via phone on Tuesday night and left a voicemail. Why It Matters Numerous recalls have been initiated this year due to the potential of damaged products, foodborne illness, contamination and undeclared food allergens. Millions of Americans experience food sensitivities or allergies every year. According to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the nine "major" food allergens in the U.S. are eggs, milk, fish, wheat, soybeans, Crustacean shellfish, sesame, tree nuts and peanuts. People with a wheat allergy could experience a "serious or life-threatening allergic reaction if they consume these products," the FDA warns. What To Know In the alert, the FDA says that 66 units of the potato salad are being recalled because of the mislabeling issue. The product is packaged in a 16-ounce container that is clear and has a white lid. The product's UPC Code number is 036217673706 and has a use-by date of August 20, 2025. The container says, "Hans Kissle Tri Color Twist Pasta Salad" while the top says, "Hans Kissle Red Bliss Potato Salad," the FDA says. There have been no reported illnesses or adverse reactions as it relates to this recall as of Tuesday, the FDA says. The recalled potato salads were distributed to Stop & Shop retail locations in five states, the alert notes. Below is a map showing the affected states, which include New York, New Jersey, Rhode Island, Connecticut and Massachusetts. What People Are Saying The FDA in the alert, in part: "The recall was initiated after it was discovered that 66 containers of Tricolor Twist Pasta Salad were mislabeled with the incorrect top label. While the front label correctly identifies the product, the top label misrepresents it as Red Bliss Potato Salad. The actual product contains wheat, which is not declared on the top label." In an email to Newsweek in January, the FDA said: "Most recalls in the U.S. are carried out voluntarily by the product manufacturer and when a company issues a public warning, typically via news release, to inform the public of a voluntary product recall, the FDA shares that release on our website as a public service. The FDA's role during a voluntary, firm-initiated, recall is to review the recall strategy, evaluate the health hazard presented by the product, monitor the recall, and as appropriate alert the public and other companies in the supply chain about the recall." It added: "The FDA provides public access to information on recalls by posting a listing of recalls according to their classification in the FDA Enforcement Report, including the specific action taken by the recalling company. The FDA Enforcement Report is designed to provide a public listing of products in the marketplace that are being recalled." Additional information on recalls can be found via the FDA's Recalls, Market Withdrawals, & Safety Alerts. What Happens Next Consumers are advised to return the recalled product to the original place of purchase for a full refund, the FDA says. People with additional questions may contact the company via phone at 978-556-4500 from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. ET weekdays.

What People Are Saying Dr. Sebastian Lighvani, director of New York Allergy & Asthma PLLC, previously told Newsweek: "The difference between someone who is allergic and someone who's not, really, at its core is that an allergic individual can come across something as innocuous as a small amount of the food, egg, peanut, milk, and ingest it. "And while a normal person will just digest that and process it, an allergic person actually sees this as a foreign threat. And that triggers the allergic response, which can initially be associated with activation of what we think are these antibodies called IgE antibodies that recognize specifically that piece of food, be it protein or egg protein. And that then triggers these cells, called the mast cells, to release all these inflammatory mediators, like histamine and other kinds of mediators, like nutrients, which can have kind of profound effects." What Happens Next Affected customers should return recalled products to Aldi for a full refund.
