About foreign material contamination
Foreign material contamination occurs when physical objects — such as metal fragments, glass shards, plastic pieces, bone chips, or other materials — are inadvertently introduced into a product during manufacturing or packaging. Ingesting foreign objects can cause cuts to the mouth, throat, or digestive tract; dental damage; choking; or internal injury. These recalls are typically issued after consumer complaints or internal quality checks identify the problem.
⚠ Inspect any remaining units of the product for visible foreign material before disposal, and report any injuries to the FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088.
What to do if you're affected
- →Check your pantry, refrigerator, and freezer for the specific lot numbers, best-by dates, and UPC codes listed in the recall notice.
- →Do not consume the product — dispose of it or return it to the store for a full refund.
- →Most grocery stores accept recalled food returns without a receipt.
- →Wash any surfaces that may have contacted the recalled product.
- →If you have already consumed the product and feel unwell, contact your healthcare provider.
About the FDA CFSAN
This recall was issued by the FDA's Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition (CFSAN), which oversees most packaged foods, produce, seafood, dietary supplements, and bottled water sold in the United States. The FDA monitors the food supply through facility inspections, laboratory testing, import screening, and consumer reports. When a contamination or labeling problem is found, the FDA works with the company on a voluntary recall or requests a mandatory one. Recalls are classified by severity: Class I (reasonable probability of serious harm or death), Class II (possible temporary adverse effects, remote probability of serious harm), Class III (unlikely to cause health effects, but violates regulations).
