Hummus Product Recalled for Allergen Issue After Wrong Side Label Applied

Cedar’s Mediterranean Foods, of Ward Hill, MA is voluntarily recalling Cedar’s Organic Mediterranean Hummus 10 oz. because it may contain an incorrect back label and undeclared allergen (Pine Nut).  Cedar’s initiated the recall when it was discovered that a mislabeled container failed to scan at the point of sale.

This has been a common issue leading to allergen recalls - mismatched labels on the product.  One label is correct, but the label with the ingredient statement is incorrect.  In this case the side label does not broadly state the product name as the top label does, making this a harder error to catch through simple visual examination.
