Bakkavor USA is recalling its Trader Joe’s Genova Pesto because it may contain undeclared milk and walnut allergens, according to a notice posted by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
According to the notice, people who have an allergy or severe sensitivity to milk or walnuts run the risk of serious or life-threatening allergic reactions if they consume this product.
The product has UPC code 0015 7353 on the side label and use by date of May 27, 2023, with a time stamp between 06:28 – 07:07 printed on the bottom of the tub. It was distributed to Trader Joe’s stores between April 28 to April 30 in Alabama, Arizona, California, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Nevada, North Carolina, Oregon, South Carolina, Tennessee, Utah, Virginia and Washington.
The recall was made after it was discovered at a retail store that the Genova Pesto was mistakenly packaged into tubs marked “Hummus Dip.” These tubs do not contain an allergen declaration of milk or walnuts, which are both found in the Genova Pesto.
No illnesses or allergic reactions have been reported to date, and all potentially impacted items have been removed from stores, according to the recall notice. An investigation into the root cause of this error is ongoing.
Consumers who have purchased or received any donations of Trader Joe’s Genova Pesto and have a milk or walnut allergy are urged not to consume the product and to discard or return it to any Trader Joe’s for a full refund. Consumers with questions may contact Bakkavor USA at 855-321-7504.
