This week, several popular food items were recalled due to safety concerns, including products from Trader Joe’s and other well-known brands. Here’s what you need to know to keep your kitchen safe.
Trader Joe’s Sesame Miso Salad with Salmon
Trader Joe’s recalled about 500 packages of its Sesame Miso Salad with Salmon sold in 18 states. The problem? Some salads were mistakenly packed with parmesan cheese crumbles instead of crispy onions, introducing undeclared milk allergens.
People allergic to milk should avoid eating this salad as it could cause serious reactions. If you have the salad with use-by dates April 28 or 29, 2025, you can return it to any Trader Joe’s for a full refund or throw it away.
Affected states include: Alabama, Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, North Carolina, Nebraska, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee, and Wisconsin.
Bread Recall Due to Glass Fragments
Upper Crust Bakery LP recalled three types of bread sold in six states after glass shards were found on the loaves. The breads recalled are:
- Ancient Grains Hoagie Roll (4 oz.)
- Multigrain Sourdough (18 oz.)
- Whole Grain Multigrain (20 oz.)
The FDA classed this as a Class II recall, meaning eating the bread could cause temporary health problems. It’s safest not to eat these breads if you have them.
Affected states: Pennsylvania, California, Connecticut, Maryland, Delaware, Ohio.
Mauna Loa Chocolate-Covered Macadamia Nuts
Mauna Loa recalled some batches of their dark chocolate-covered macadamia nuts because they may contain undeclared almonds and cashews. This is dangerous for people with allergies to these nuts.
No allergic reactions have been reported so far. If you have these nuts and are allergic to almonds or cashews, do not eat them. Return or discard the product instead.
Sold in: Arizona, California, Colorado, Florida, Hawaii, Illinois, Maine, Michigan, New Jersey, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Texas, Utah, Virginia, Washington, Wisconsin, and Guam.
Grain Millers Rolled Oats Recall
Grain Millers recalled over 63,000 pounds of rolled oats in two states due to possible plastic contamination. The FDA gave this a Class II risk level. Although the recall was officially ended last Friday, some oats may still be in homes.
If you have these oats, it’s safest not to eat them. Return or throw them away.
What You Should Do
Check your pantry and fridge for these products.
If you find any recalled items, do not eat them if you have allergies or if the product is contaminated.
Return the items to the store for a refund or dispose of them safely.
Staying informed helps protect you and your family from food safety risks.
