Pasta Salad Sold At Major Connecticut Supermarket Chain Recalled

CONNECTICUT — Pasta salad sold at a major retailer in Connecticut is being recalled, according to the federal Food and Drug Administration.

The FDA said Wednesday that a voluntarily recall involving Hans Kissle Red Potato Bliss Salad is in effect because of an "undeclared allergen," cited as wheat.

"People who have an allergy or severe sensitivity to wheat run the risk of serious or life-threatening allergic reaction if they consume these products," according to the FDA.

The mislabeled product was distributed to Stop and Shop retail locations in Connecticut, along with Massachusetts, Rhode Island, New York and New Jersey, according to the FDA.

The product comes in a 16-ounce, clear plastic container with a white lid, marked with UPC Code 036217673706 and Use By: 8/20/25, located on the top lid. The clear container is labeled as Hans Kissle Tri Color Twist Pasta Salad and the top label declares the product as Hans Kissle Red Bliss Potato Salad.

According to the FDA, the recall was initiated after it was discovered that 66 containers of Tricolor Twist Pasta Salad were mislabeled with the incorrect top label. While the front label correctly identifies the product, the top label misrepresents it as Red Bliss Potato Salad. The actual product contains wheat, which is not declared on the top label, the FDA said.

To date, no illnesses or adverse reactions have been reported in connection with this issue.

Consumers who purchased the affected product are urged to return them to the place of purchase for a full refund. For questions, contact Hans Kissle at 978-556-4500, Monday through Friday, from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., eastern time.
