STOP & Shop customers have been issued a warning after the wrong labels were slapped on food products in a risky mistake.
An undeclared ingredient could cause serious or life-threatening allergic reactions to grocery store shoppers — and officials warned that the food could still be in fridges across five states.
Manufacturer Hans Kissle is recalling packages of pasta salad that were mislabeled as potato salad.
The company issued a warning for 66 containers sold at Stop & Shop stores in multiple states on the East Coast.
The recall is because the pasta salad might have undeclared wheat, according to the US Food and Drug Administration.
The salad has wheat in it, but the item’s top label doesn’t say so.
Officials warned shoppers to check their fridges for packages of Red Potato Bliss Salad because there could be pasta instead of potatoes inside.
The FDA said the product is in a 16-ounce, clear plastic container with a white lid.
The top lid is marked with UPC Code 036217673706 and Use By: 8/20/25.
The clear container is correctly labeled as Hans Kissle Tri Color Twist Pasta Salad, but the top label claims it’s the potato salad.
The mislabeled food was sold at Stop & Shops in Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut, New Jersey, and New York.
Its expiration date was listed as August 20, meaning the recalled item might still be kept in consumers’ fridges.
People with wheat allergies or a sensitivity to wheat could face “serious or life-threatening” reactions if they consume the products, the FDA warned.
No illnesses or allergic reactions have been noted so far.
Customers who bought the product can return it to the store they bought it at for a full refund.
The potato salad typically costs around $4.99, according to Stop & Shop’s website.
