Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Approximately 290 cases of Trader Joe's Genova Pesto (7 oz) have been recalled because the containers were mislabeled with "Hummus Dip" side labels. The side label does not declare milk or walnuts, which are ingredients in the pesto. No illnesses or injuries have been reported to date. These products were sold exclusively at Trader Joe's stores in Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington.

Risk

People who have an allergy or severe sensitivity to milk or walnuts run the risk of a serious or life-threatening allergic reaction if they consume this product. The mislabeling means these ingredients are present but not disclosed to the consumer.
