Trader Joe’s dressing recalled in Florida, the Carolinas, Texas, 13 other states

Trader Joe’s Hot Honey Mustard Dressing has been recalled from stores in 17 states and the District of Columbia, but there are a few things you should know before tossing the dressing or returning it for a refund.

First, the reason behind the recall made by California-based manufacturer Fresh Creative Foods.

The ingredients label doesn’t list allergens wheat, peanuts, sesame or soy. So, there’s no warning preventing people who have a wheat allergy, peanut allergy, soy allergy or sesame allergy from using the dressing. That can come with consequences ranging from hives to death, depending on the severity of the allergy.

Third, these bottles went to Trader Joe’s stores in Florida, North Carolina, South Carolina, Texas, Georgia, Pennsylvania, Arkansas, Colorado, Delaware, Kansas, Louisiana, Massachusetts, Maryland, New Mexico, Ohio, Oklahoma, Virginia and the District of Columbia.

Consumers with questions can call Fresh Creative Foods 888-223-2127, Monday through Friday, 11 a.m. to 8 p.m., Eastern time.
