It’s crucial to remain informed about product recalls, as some may pose health risks even if most won’t cause serious harm. Recently, some notable recalls have involved foods that are commonly consumed. Below are recent recalls for five popular food items.
Country Eggs
Country Eggs, LLC has issued a recall on large brown eggs in two states due to possible Salmonella contamination. So far, 95 individuals in 14 states have been affected, with 18 requiring hospitalization. The specific products, Large Brown Cage-Free “sunshine” or “Omega-3 Golden” Yolk Eggs, sold in California and Nevada under the brand names Nagatoshi Produce, Misuho, and Nijiya Market, have been pulled from the shelves.
Cocktail Shrimp
Aquastar (USA) Corp has recalled their 6oz Cocktail Shrimp due to potential health threats. The shrimp may be tainted with Cs-137, a synthetic cesium isotope that could increase cancer risk. These products were available at Walmart locations in several states including Alaska, Alabama, Arkansas, Colorado, and more. Walmart stated, “We prioritize the health and safety of our customers and members, ensuring all our products meet safety standards. During a recall, we expedite measures to remove the product from sale and stores.”
Hostess Ding Dongs
Hostess Ding Dongs were pulled from shelves nationwide on Aug. 20 due to possible mold contamination. This may have been the effect of a mechanical description during production, creating conditions that made the pastries susceptible to mold growth before the products’ expiration dates. Recalled Ding Dongs should be thrown away or returned for a refund or replacement.
Salad Kits
Taylor Fresh Foods recalled Taylor Farms Honey Balsamic Salad Kit 6/8.3oz. According to the recall, the premade salads contain undeclared sesame and soy. The products were sold at Walmart stores in Alabama, Arkansas, Delaware, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Missouri, Mississippi, New Jersey, New York, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, and West Virginia.
Blue Bell Ice Cream
Blue Bell Creameries recalled over 16,000 tubs of ice cream in 16 states due to a dangerous labeling error. Moo-llennium Crunch Ice Cream was packaged in Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough cartons. Therefore, the cartons did not list almond, walnut, and pecan allergens. The product is safe to eat, unless you have an allergy or sensitivity to nuts.
