Summary
- 128,000 hospitalized, 3,000 die yearly from preventable foodborne illnesses

- Recall affects 66 units sold in 5 Northeastern states
As of August 7th, 2025, a Massachusetts-based food manufacturer, Hans Kissle, has issued a recall for some of its pasta salad products due to mislabeling that failed to disclose the presence of wheat, a major allergen. The recall affects 66 units of the company's Tricolor Twist Pasta Salad, which were incorrectly labeled as Red Bliss Potato Salad and sold at Stop and Shop locations across Connecticut, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, and Rhode Island.
The mislabeling issue poses a serious threat to individuals with wheat allergies or sensitivities, who risk experiencing severe or even life-threatening reactions if they consume the affected products. Fortunately, Hans Kissle has reported no illnesses or adverse reactions so far. Customers who have purchased the recalled pasta salad are advised to return it to the store for a full refund.
This recall comes amidst growing concerns over the prevalence of preventable foodborne illnesses in the United States. According to recent data, approximately 128,000 people are hospitalized and 3,000 die each year from such preventable outbreaks. The Hans Kissle incident serves as a stark reminder of the importance of accurate food labeling and the need for heightened vigilance to protect public health.
