# Major Recall Alert: Red Bliss Potato Salad Recalled Due to Undeclared Wheat
Attention shoppers in the northeastern United States: Hans Kissle has issued a voluntary recall for their **Red Bliss Potato Salad** due to an undeclared wheat allergen. This recall affects 66 mislabeled units, which were distributed to Stop and Shop locations across Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut, New Jersey, and New York. Individuals with wheat allergies or sensitivities face a potential risk of severe or life-threatening allergic reactions if they consume this product.
With mislabeled food products being a significant safety risk, this recall serves as an urgent reminder of the importance of label accuracy. Here’s everything you need to know about this recall and what to do if you’ve purchased the impacted product.
## Why This Recall is Important
Accurate product labeling is essential, especially when it involves allergens that can trigger serious health reactions. In this case, wheat—a common allergen—was not properly indicated on the **Hans Kissle Red Bliss Potato Salad** packaging.
The root of the issue is a packaging error: the **16-ounce clear plastic container** (UPC Code: **036217673706**) was mistakenly labeled with the top lid as Hans Kissle Red Bliss Potato Salad. However, the actual product inside is **Hans Kissle Tricolor Twist Pasta Salad,** which contains wheat. This mix-up could easily lead to accidental wheat exposure for individuals with allergies, highlighting why recalls like this need immediate attention.
To date, no reported illnesses or reactions have been linked to this recall, but Hans Kissle is taking swift action to ensure consumer safety.
