Overview

• Trader Joe’s has recalled 500 units of its Sesame Miso Salad with Salmon after mispackaging included Parmesan cheese instead of crispy onions, leading to undeclared milk allergens.
• The affected salads were sold in 18 states, including Alabama, New York, Illinois, and Wisconsin, with use-by dates of April 28 and 29, 2025.
• Customers with milk allergies risk reactions ranging from mild symptoms to severe anaphylaxis if they consume the mislabeled product.
• Recalled salads can be returned to any Trader Joe’s location for a full refund, with no receipt required, as part of the company’s customer care policy.
• This is Trader Joe’s third recall in recent months, raising questions about supplier oversight and prompting the company to enhance its food safety protocols.
