Trader Joe’s Recalls Pre-Made Salad Due to Undeclared Allergen
On April 28, 2025, Trader Joe’s recalled 500 units of its ready-to-eat sesame miso salad with salmon, which was distributed among 18 states. During the packaging process, sealed packets of Parmesan cheese crumbles were mistakenly placed in the salad containers instead of crispy onion packets. The salad usually doesn’t contain any traces of milk, so this accidental swap introduced an undisclosed milk allergen.
Given that milk is one of the nine most common food allergens in the United States, those with the allergy couldn’t safely enjoy the food they purchased.
