Gordon Choice Deli Style Tuna Salad Recalled for Undeclared Wheat

RMH Foods is recalling Gordon Choice Deli Style Tuna Salad (4 lb. containers) due to labeling errors that may expose consumers to undeclared wheat and tuna allergens. The product was distributed to Gordon Food Service retail stores and food service establishments across multiple states.

What this means for you

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: This is an FDA Class II recall with undeclared common allergens (wheat and tuna). The source text does not report any illnesses or injuries, making the hazard theoretical. Per the rubric, allergen mislabeling on common allergens without reported illness qualifies as High (score 3).

Plain-English summary

RMH Foods is recalling Gordon Choice Deli Style Tuna Salad, sold in 4 lb. refrigerated retail units (2 units per wholesale case), due to labeling errors.
