Trader Joe’s has issued a voluntary recall of its Hot Honey Mustard Dressing due to a labeling error that omits allergen warnings for peanuts, soy, sesame, and wheat, according to the U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA). The recall applies to bottles with a “use by” date of 05/27/2025 and SKU number 80152.
This dressing was distributed across 17 states and Washington, D.C., including: Arizona, Colorado, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Kansas, Louisiana, Massachusetts, Maryland, North Carolina, New Mexico, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Texas, and Virginia.
No allergic reactions or customer complaints have been reported so far, and both Trader Joe’s and its supplier, Fresh Creative Foods, emphasized the recall is a precautionary step. Customers are encouraged to discard the product or return it to any Trader Joe’s for a full refund.

“We err on the side of caution,” Trader Joe’s stated. “When there’s any doubt about a product’s safety or quality, we act quickly to remove it from sale.”
Common symptoms of food allergies—especially to peanuts, wheat, soy, or sesame—can include itching, swelling, hives, stomach pain, wheezing, or dizziness. In serious cases, a life-threatening reaction called anaphylaxis can occur.
If you believe you’ve had a reaction after consuming this product, consult your healthcare provider or an allergist. Individuals with a history of allergies, asthma, or eczema may be at a higher risk.
