As with all food recalls, consumers are strongly advised to discontinue use of the affected product even if it looks or smells safe to eat or if there are no visible signs of contamination by foreign objects. Foreign material embedded in the recalled products may be too small to be seen by the human eye. Anyone in possession of the recalled products should not sell, serve, donate, or distribute them. Consumers should contact the place of purchase to see if the products can be returned for a refund or should instead throw them away. Health Risks The recall notices did not say if there have been any reports of injuries in connection with the consumption of the impacted products. Any consumer who has been exposed to the affected products, and is experiencing sickness or injury, should contact their medical provider immediately. Food contaminated with foreign material has the potential to cause severe harm, including choking, injury, illness, damage to teeth, gums, tongue, throat, mouth, stomach, and intestines or even death in most people. Infants, the elderly, and recent surgery patients could also be at extreme risk of serious injury.

I strongly urge consumers to stop using any of the recalled products right away.”
