by Hans Kissle has issued a voluntary recall of its Red Potato Bliss Salad after discovering a labeling error that could put people with wheat allergies at risk. The recall involves 66 units of the product that were mislabeled and may contain undeclared wheat, a known food allergen.
According to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the mislabeling occurred when containers of Tri Color Twist Pasta Salad were incorrectly topped with labels identifying them as Red Bliss Potato Salad. While the front label of the container is correct, the top label misidentifies the product, failing to list wheat as an ingredient.
Why It Matters
Millions of Americans live with food allergies and sensitivities, and the FDA lists wheat among the nine major allergens in the U.S., alongside milk, eggs, fish, shellfish, peanuts, tree nuts, soybeans, and sesame. For those with a wheat allergy, consuming mislabeled products can trigger severe or even life-threatening allergic reactions.
This recall highlights a growing number of food product recalls in 2025 related to mislabeling, contamination, and allergen exposure.
