Massachusetts-based food company Hans Kissle has issued a recall after a labeling error resulted in some of its pasta salad being mislabeled as potato salad. The affected product, Tricolor Twist Pasta Salad, contains undeclared wheat, which could pose a risk to individuals with wheat allergies. As reported by NBC New York, the recall affects products distributed in multiple states, including New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Rhode Island, and Massachusetts.
The recall was issued after it was found that 66 containers of Tricolor Twist Pasta Salad were mistakenly labeled as Red Potato Bliss Salad. According to the FDA, this mislabeling could pose a serious risk to individuals with wheat allergies, potentially leading to severe or life-threatening reactions. The affected products were distributed to Stop & Shop grocery stores. Despite the potential health risks, no illnesses have been reported as of yet, according to USA Today.
Consumers can identify the recalled product by its packaging, which consists of a 16-ounce clear plastic container with a white lid labeled with the "UPC Code 036217673706 and Use By: 8/20/25." While the side label accurately names the item as Hans Kissle Tri-Color Twist Pasta Salad, the top label incorrectly identifies it as Hans Kissle Red Bliss Potato Salad, as NBC New York reported.
Customers who have purchased the affected salad can return it to their local Stop & Shop for a full refund. The company has provided its contact information for anyone seeking additional information or assistance with the recall, which is (978) 556-4500, available Monday to Friday, from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.
