Capsicana recalls Capsicana Easy Going Mild Salsa because of undeclared barley (gluten) and mustard
Why it was recalled
Capsicana is recalling its Easy Going Mild Salsa because two allergens, barley (a source of gluten) and mustard, are in the recipe but missing from the label. Sauces and salsas frequently contain both ingredients, which is exactly why the law requires them to be declared clearly.
The salsa is not contaminated; it is mislabelled. That distinction matters little, though, to anyone with a mustard allergy, a gluten intolerance or coeliac disease, for whom the jar carries an invisible risk.
