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.
The agency’s classification
FDA (Food): Class II
Class II is a situation in which use of or exposure to a violative product may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences, or where the probability of serious adverse health consequences is remote.
This is the agency’s own classification, taken from its notice. The severity score below is our assessment, not the agency’s. How recall classes work
What this means for you
Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 3/5 (High).
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.
