Trader Joe's is recalling Hot Honey Mustard Dressing bottles that are mislabeled and contain undeclared peanuts, soy, sesame, and wheat allergens.

What this means for you

Illness, injury, or structural failure has been reported. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.

Our severity reasoning: This is a Class I recall from the FDA, the highest classification level. Undeclared major allergens (peanuts, soy, sesame, wheat) on a mislabeled product pose serious risk of allergic reactions and anaphylaxis in sensitive consumers. Although no illnesses have been reported, the Class I classification and allergen hazard warrant a Severe rating.
