American Spoon Foods Recalls Three Products for Undeclared Wheat

Individuals with celiac disease and gluten sensitivity are advised to check labels on salsa and sauces.

American Spoon Foods is voluntarily recalling Apple Chipotle Salsa, Maple BBQ Grilling Sauce and Pumpkin Chipotle Roasting Sauce. These products may contain undeclared wheat, according to a press release posted on the Food and Drug Administration website.

The recall affects several lots. Consumers are instructed to check the lot codes, which are the first 4 numbers of the 12 digit code printed directly on the glass on the back of the jar below the “Best Flavor By” date. Affected products have the following codes:

• Apple Chipotle Salsa, 13.5 oz jar, UPC code 019363016047
• All codes from 9301 – 9363
• All codes from 0002 – 0365
• All codes from 1002 – 1034
• Maple BBQ Grilling Sauce, 15 oz jar, UPC Code 019363014371
• All codes from 9301 – 9363
• All codes from 0002 – 0365
• All codes from 1002 – 1034
• Pumpkin Chipotle Roasting Sauce, 14 oz jar, UPC Code 019363014173
• All codes from 9301 – 9363
• All codes from 0002 – 0365
• All codes from 1002 – 1034

If you have trouble reading the code, err on the side of caution and discard the product, the release noted.

Consumers who feel they may be at risk should record the lot code for future reference and then discard the product. Consumers who experience an adverse reaction after consuming the product are advised to seek medical advice from their physician as appropriate. At this point, there have been no consumer complaints or reports of adverse reactions from using these products, according to the release.

The problem was discovered during an internal audit. American Spoon has since suspended production and sales of these products, and plans to notify retailers through letter and press release.

For more information, retailers and customers should contact American Spoon Foods Customer Service Department (800-222-5886) or email to [email protected] with any questions.
