Trader Joe's Super Spinach Salad recalled for undeclared almonds

Trader Joe's Super Spinach Salad packages were prepared using almonds instead of the declared pumpkin seeds, creating an undeclared allergen hazard for consumers with nut allergies.

What this means for you

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: This is allergen mislabeling involving a common allergen (almonds/tree nuts). The source states undeclared almonds present on the label as pumpkin seeds, creating a high-risk scenario for allergic consumers, though no illnesses or injuries are reported in the source text.
