Food Recalls

MakeFoodSafe.com and our amazing contributor Heather Van Tassell would like to help you keep your family safe from unsafe and recalled foods.  Each week we bring together a list of the current recalls.  Putting recalled lots, UPC codes, and contact information for recalled products in one convenient place helps you evaluate the foods you eat. Check back here each week for the latest food recalls.

Some recalls are issued due to undeclared allergens, which could cause serious or life-threatening allergic reaction if someone sensitive to the product consumes it.  Other recalls are issued due to contamination with harmful material such as plastic or metal. Some are due to other health risks such as contamination with a pathogenic bacteria.  Check back often and evaluate your fridge, pantry, and shopping list to make sure you can identify which foods to avoid.

Food Recalls – January 7, 2021

Flowers Foods, Inc Recalls Everything Bagels Due to Potential Undeclared Allergen

Flowers Foods, Inc issued an amendment on December 30, 2020 to their original recall released December 3, 2020 for their Canyon Bakehouse Everything Bagels to extend recall geographic distribution.  This recall was issued to potential contamination with the potential allergen, gluten.  Those with a wheat allergy, celiac disease, or gluten and/or wheat sensitivity risk serious or life-threatening allergic reaction if product is consumed.

The recall was initiated following finished product testing that revealed the possible presence of gluten in a product that did not declare the potential allergen, gluten, on the label.

Affected product was distributed to the states of Connecticut, Massachusetts, New York, and Rhode Island in addition to the original recall that included the states of Arkansas, Colorado, Kansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, New Mexico, Oklahoma, South Dakota, Texas, Utah, and Wyoming.  See table below for specific product information.

Lipari Foods Recalls Country Cajun Spice Mix Due to Potential Undeclared Allergen

Lipari Foods, of Warren, Michigan issued a recall on December 31, 2020 for their 9-ounce packages of Backroad Country Spicy Cajun Mix due to potential presence of the undeclared allergen, milk.  Those with an allergy or severe sensitivity to milk risk serious or life-threatening allergic reaction if product is consumed.

The recall was initiated following discovery that the product that contained milk was distributed in packaging that did not reveal the presence of milk.  Subsequent investigation indicated that the problem originated in a breakdown of the firm’s production and packaging processes.

Affected product was distributed nationwide in retail stores.  See table below for specific product information.

There have been no reports of illness or adverse reaction associated with this recall to date.

Divvies Recalls Vanilla Cupcakes Due to Potential Undeclared Allergens

Divvies of Trumbull, Connecticut issued a recall on December 31, 2020 for 472 cases of their Vanilla Cupcakes with Vanilla Frosting and Vanilla Cupcakes with Chocolate Frosting due to the potential presence of milk and eggs.  Those with an allergy or severe sensitivity to milk and/or eggs risk serious or life-threatening allergic reaction if product is consumed.

The recall was initiated following discovery that an ingredient containing milk and eggs was inadvertently added to the ingredient mix specifically used for the vanilla cupcakes.  This took place during packaging by the ingredient supplier.  Subsequent investigation revealed the problem occurred due to a temporary breakdown of a piece of equipment on the supplier’s packaging line.  The problem has been corrected.

Affected product can be identified as packaged in a 6-ounce, clear plastic clamshell labeled with the Divvies brand.  See table below for specific product information.

There have been no reports of illness or adverse reaction associated with this recall to date.

This recall was initiated due to potential misbranding.  The dressing and topping kit (masterpack) designed for a different Dole product was unintentionally used during a portion of the production of the recalled salad.  As a result, product labeled Dole™ Sesame Asian Chopped Salad may contain the incorrect dressing and topping kit that contains the ingredient egg that was not declared on the packaging.

Affected product was distributed to the states of Arkansas, California, Idaho, Missouri, Oklahoma, Oregon, Texas, and Utah.  A select number of lots are included in this recall.  No other Dole products are subject to this recall.  See table below for specific product information.
