An even easier, and smarter, answer is to re-do the set-up in Illustrator or even InDesign. You'll have a lot more control and end up with a vector file that is much more flexible.

Probably the number one mistake I see people make when they're getting started is thinking that simply because Photoshop is a very powerful program that it's the best program to do any job in. That's couldn't be further from the truth.

Because of the circular text ringing the edge of the label, I'm thinking it will probably be easier to do some kind of a selection than try to recreate the text.

In Photoshop...

Make a circular selection, tweak it using the transform option under the Selection menu, make it a path, select the text tool and click where you'd like to begin entering text on the path.

So you want to have the red color remain and have all the text become transparent?

yes

I would recreate it, about an hour in Photoshop or Illustrator. If your using inkjet, just make the text white and no ink will go down, for commercial duplication you need to make the red a layer and mask out the parts to be silver
