Annie's Naturals, in conjunction with the FDA, is recalling 686 cases of its all-natural Shiitake and Sesame Vinaigrette because it may contain wheat or soy, which was not included on the label. People who are allergic to soy or wheat may incur sever of life-threatening side effects.

So far the comapny has not received any reports of illness from the recalled product. The dressing was sold in grocery and natural food stores in selected states from December 20, 2007 to February 6, 2008.

Consumers can most easily identify impacted product by looking at the product labels - the front label says Shiitake & Sesame Vinaigrette, but the back label and ingredient statement say Low Fat Honey Mustard Vinaigrette. Only dressings with UPC # 0-92325-33319-2 with a Best By Date of 02/20/09/1/E and 02/20/09/2/E are affected.

The issue happened when there was a product changeover and the back labels for Honey Mustard Vinaigrette was mixed with the Shiitake Sesame Vinaigrette. The Honey Mustard Vinaigrette product was not affected because of the mixed up labels.
