Notice of Voluntary Recall of Single Lot of Martinelli’s OneLiter Bottles of Apple Juice Dear Valued Partner, S. Martinelli & Company has issued a voluntary recall for a single lot of Martinelli’s Apple Juice, One-Liter (33.8 fl. oz.) bottle.

 

The recalled product has a “Best By” date of “09MAR2026” or “10MAR2026” on the front of the bottle above the label. The product was shipped between March 13, 2023, and September 27, 2023, with the majority of the product shipped before July 28, 2023. This recall is a result of sampling by the State of Maryland that found samples from one production lot of Martinelli’s apple juice, sold in one-liter glass bottles, tested above the guidance action level for inorganic arsenic in apple juice set by the FDA in June 2023. FDA has stated that exposure to elevated levels of inorganic arsenic can pose a health hazard to young children.

 

Effective June 1, 2023, the FDA issued guidance lowering the industry action level for inorganic arsenic in apple juice from 23 parts per billion (“ppb’) to 10 ppb, in line with the requirements for water. The Maryland Department of Health reported that test results for the March 2023 production lot at issue showed 11.6 ppb for inorganic arsenic, which is 1.6 ppb higher than the industry action level set forth in the new guidance established on June 1, 2023. No illness or complaints related to this product code has been reported to date, and no other production dates or Martinelli products are affected by this recall.

We have found no product from the affected lots at Berkeley Bowl.

CHEF WAREHOUSE WEST COAST LLC
2237 S MC DOWELL BLVD EXT, PETALUMA, CA, 94954
RE: VOLUNTARY RECALL OF FRATELLI BERETTA USA’S PRODUCTS THAT CONTAIN
“COPPA”.
Dear QA Recall Department
This letter is to inform you of a recall involving certain Fratelli Beretta USA’s products that contain
“coppa”.
This recall has been initiated out of an abundance of precaution due to potential Salmonella contamination.
Consumption of food contaminated with Salmonella can cause salmonellosis, one of the most common
bacterial foodborne illnesses. The most common symptoms of salmonellosis are diarrhea, abdominal cramps, and
fever within 6 hours to 6 days after eating the contaminated product. The illness usually lasts 4 to 7 days. Most
people recover without treatment. In some persons, however, the diarrhea may be so severe that the patient needs
to be hospitalized. Older adults, infants, and persons with weakened immune systems are more likely to develop
a severe illness. Individuals concerned about an illness should contact their healthcare provider.

Salmonella is an organism that can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems. Healthy persons infected with Salmonella often experience fever, diarrhea (which may be bloody), nausea, vomiting, and abdominal pain.  In rare circumstances, infection with Salmonella can result in the organism getting into the bloodstream and producing more severe illnesses such as arterial infections (i.e., infected aneurysms), endocarditis, and arthritis.

This recall was initiated when the company received a notification from the FDA and the Ohio Department of Health of the potential presence of Salmonella in this specific lot.  The company has received no reports of illness or injury to date.  We immediately informed all Stores that had purchased this product within this lot code about this Recall and instructed them to remove any product which might be on their shelves.

Only packages bearing the Lot Code/Best by date below are being recalled at this time. All products other than the ones with the affected Best by Date mentioned in the table are ok to consume.

The recalled product was distributed to stores predominately located in the New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut regions as well as some stores nationwide during the weeks of February 23rd, 2023 through March 5th, 2023.  Based on sales velocity, there is an extremely low chance that any of the affected products would still be available for retail.  All products other than the ones with the affected Best by Date mentioned in the table are ok to consume.

Consumers who may have purchased this product are advised to discontinue use immediately and discard or return the product for credit or refund. If a consumer experiences the symptoms listed above and believes they may have been exposed to Salmonella, they are urged to report to a medical provider.

Consumers who have questions may contact us at Customercare@kayco.com or by phone at 718-369-4600 Monday through Friday 9 AM to 5 PM Eastern Time.

This recall is being made with the knowledge of the Food and Drug Administration.

Out of an abundance of caution, Impossible Foods has issued a voluntary recall that covers some varieties of Impossible Chicken Nuggets Made From Plants produced by food manufacturer OSI Industries, LLC from October 20 to November 23, 2022: We recently received reports that small pieces of wood were found in some of our 13.5 oz retail packages of frozen Impossible Chicken Nuggets produced by one of our co-manufacturers, OSI Industries, LLC between October 20 and November 23, 2022. While this issue has affected less than 0.000005% of total packages of this particular product, this is simply unacceptable given that consumers and customers place their trust in us with every purchase of Impossible Foods they make. Because of that commitment, we voluntarily and proactively made the decision to pull some of our plant-based chicken products off store shelves and out of distribution because of an issue we discovered at our co-manufacturer. Once we identified the issue, we immediately contacted the U.S Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to alert them and indicate that we would be issuing a voluntary recall. Even though only one chicken nuggets SKU presented issues, we made the decision to recall all of the products produced on that production line between October 20 and November 23, 2022, out of an abundance of caution.

  1. Impossible Chicken Nuggets 13.5 oz package

  2. Impossible Wild Nuggies 13.5 oz package

UPDATE ON LYONS MAGNUS LLC RECALL - STUMPTOWN BRAND

FRESNO, Calif. – August 10, 2022 – Lyons Magnus LLC (“Lyons Magnus” or the “Company”) today announced that following continued collaboration and consultation with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) and in furtherance of its longstanding commitment to food safety, the Company is expanding its July 28, 2022, voluntary recall of nutritional and beverage products to include additional brands and code dates. A complete list of the recalled products is in the table below. Consumers also are advised not to consume any products that are beyond their Best By Date.

This recall is being conducted due to the potential for microbial contamination, including from the organisms Cronobacter sakazakii and Clostridium botulinum. Although Clostridium botulinum has not been found in products, consumers are warned not to consume any of the recalled products even if they do not look or smell spoiled. The list of recalled products does not include products intended for infants (i.e., under the age of one).

While infection related to Cronobacter sakazakii is rare, the common symptoms of illness could include fever, vomiting and urinary tract infection. However, vulnerable and immunocompromised populations may be more susceptible to infection.

Clostridium botulinum may cause a severe form of food poisoning. It can begin from six hours to two weeks after eating food that contains the toxin. Symptoms may include double vision, blurred vision, drooping eyelids, slurred speech, difficulty swallowing, and muscle weakness. Botulism poisoning can cause respiratory paralysis, resulting in death, unless assistance with breathing (mechanical ventilation) is provided.

Root cause analysis indicates that the products did not meet commercial sterility specifications.

The products are packed in various formats under many different brand names, which are listed in the table below. To identify the Lot Code and Best By Date refer to the top of the carton for individual cartons or the side of the case for multi-carton cases. Some products were distributed nationally, while some products were limited in scope. Products included in the recall were distributed starting in April 2021.

Anyone who has a recalled product in his or her possession should dispose of it immediately or return it to the place of purchase for a refund. Consumers in all time zones with questions may contact the Lyons Recall Support Center 24/7 at 1-800-627-0557, or visit its website at www.lyonsmagnus.com. This recall is being conducted in cooperation with the FDA.

CROWN PRINCE, INC. is recalling canned Smoked Baby Clams in Olive Oil because FDA testing found detectable levels of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS). No illnesses have been reported to date from this product. Although there are no current government guidelines as to the amount of PFAS that can be safely consumed in canned smoked baby clams, it is out of an abundance of caution that Crown Prince is recalling this product. Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are a diverse group of human-made chemicals used in a wide range of consumer and industrial products. PFAS do not easily break down and some types have been shown to accumulate in the environment and in our bodies. Exposure to certain types of PFAS have been linked to serious health effects, including but not limited to, increased cholesterol levels, increases in high blood pressure, pre-eclampsia in pregnant women, developmental effects, decreases in immune response, changes in liver function, and increases in certain types of cancer. The recalled product was distributed nationwide to natural food stores, grocery stores, and online retailers: Crown Prince Natural Smoked Baby Clams in Olive Oil Product of China 3 oz cans packed in cases of 12 cans Case Information: Case GTIN - 0007323001853 4

Lot Number: 2021363-1 Best By Date 12/2024 & 2022026-1 Best By Date 01/2025
The recall has been initiated due to the presence of lead above the FDA's recommended limits; per the serving size
specified on the nutritional facts panel. Lead is a naturally occurring element that may be contracted in fruits and
vegetable during cultivation. Lead is a toxic substance present in our environment in small amounts and everyone
is exposed to some lead from daily actions such as inhaling dust, eating food, or drinking water.
Affects from Lead depend upon the amount of, and duration of lead exposure and age of the person exposed.
Symptoms can include abdominal pain, vomiting, lethargy, irritability, weakness, behavior or mood changes,
delirium, seizures, and coma. However, infants, young children and the developing fetus can be affected by chronic
exposure to amounts of lead that may not result in obvious symptoms of lead poisoning. A child with lead
poisoning may not look or act sick. Lead poising in children can cause learning disabilities, developmental delays,
and lower IQ scores
The product has been distributed during the time period of 1/31/2022 to 5/09/2022. No illness has been reported to us so far.

Re: Urban Remedy Recalls Urban Remedy Organic Revitalizing Tea Tonic - Strawberry Hibiscus Rose Due to Possible Hepatitis A Contamination

Urban Remedy is voluntarily recalling Urban Remedy Organic Revitalizing Tea Tonic Strawberry Hibiscus Rose (LOT 1232 BEST BY 7/17/2022) because it has the potential to be contaminated with Hepatitis A. Urban Remedy contracts Youngstown Grape Distributors Inc. to co-manufacturer this product. The product may contain fresh organic strawberries linked to the FDA outbreak investigation of FreshKampo organic strawberries. https://www.fda.gov/food/outbreaks-foodborne-illness/outbreak-investigation-hepatitis-virus-strawberries-may-2022.

Hepatitis A is a contagious virus that can cause liver disease. A Hepatitis A virus (HAV) infection can range in severity from a mild illness lasting a few weeks to a severe illness lasting several months. In rare cases, particularly consumers who have a pre-existing severe illness or are immune-compromised, Hepatitis A infections can progress to liver failure. The illness usually occurs within 15 to 50 days after eating or drinking contaminated food or water. Symptoms of Hepatitis A infection include fever, headache, fatigue, loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain, jaundice, dark urine or pale stool. In some instances, particularly in children under the age of six, Hepatitis A infection may be asymptomatic.

Persons who may have purchased the affected product do not consume, if consumed consult your health care provider or local health department to determine if a vaccination is appropriate and consumers with symptoms of Hepatitis A should contact their health providers or the local health department immediately.

No illnesses have been reported consuming Urban Remedy products to date.

Re: The J. M. Smucker Co. Issues Voluntary Recall of Select Jif® Products Sold in the U.S. for Potential Salmonella Contamination              

 

The J. M. Smucker Co. is recalling select Jif® peanut butter products sold in the U.S. due to potential Salmonella contamination. Salmonella is an organism that can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems. Healthy persons infected with Salmonella often experience fever, diarrhea (which may be bloody), nausea, vomiting, and abdominal pain. In rare circumstances, infection with Salmonella can result in the organism getting into the bloodstream and producing more severe illnesses such as arterial infections (i.e., infected aneurysms), endocarditis, and arthritis.

Upon notification, on Saturday 5/21 all of our Jif® inventory was checked and removed from the shelves at both Berkeley Bowl stores. For more information please see the FDA Site: https://www.fda.gov/safety/recalls-market-withdrawals-safety-alerts/j-m-smucker-co-issues-voluntary-recall-select-jifr-products-sold-us-potential-salmonella
