Read Time:2 Minute, 10 Second

The new US FDA published several new food withdrawals, including the expansion of previous withdrawals involving all onions and cakes. Like the original withdrawal, this expansion is caused by contamination with salmonella and small pieces of metal. Consumers are warned to restore or dispose of affected products.

Latest onion withdrawal

The latest onion withdrawal comes from Pier-C Produce Inc. and involves the PIER-C Brand name of its Produce. This advisor was published on November 4 and included several whole garlic originating from Mexico and was supplied by Keleler Family Farms. Like many other recall onions that we have seen in recent weeks, the company considering this onion is about potential contamination with Salmonella.

Fortunately, the collection of onions that was remembered did not spread too far in the US; The company said it was distributed to wholesale in Florida from 9 to 24 August, as well as retailers in Florida from 17 to 23 August. Consumers will find the phrase “Mexico Products” on the label, as well as the UPC code listed in the advisor and brand name PIER-C Produce.

On the withdrawal date (November 4), the company said that he did not receive reports on the disease generated from the withdrawn onion. Consumers who have garlic are told to return it to the store where they are purchased for refund or throwing them without eating.

More cupcakes to avoid

The extended cupcake withdrawal, meanwhile, was also issued on November 4 as an update for the previous announcement. According to Flowers Foods, Inc., the same company behind the withdrawal at the end of October, additional products have been added to their advisors, including several multi-package cupcakes and several crimptic products.

The withdrawal was first announced after the vendor told food flowers about the potential for the existence of “small” metal wire pieces in one of the ingredients used to make snacks. The company said in its updated advice that they still had not received reports of problems related to this cupcake and newly added kimpets products.

Updated withdrawals add more products to the list, including Tastykake Jelly Kimpets, Butterscotch Kimpets, and Kimpets filled with Creme. These products are sold in various package sizes, including those sold in 12.75oz and 14.25oz boxes. In some cases, Mandiri packages with cupcakes and crimpt are sold individually rather than as part of the box with several packages.

Consumers who believe that they may have bought one of the drawn or cupcakes kimpets or cupcakes must check the withdrawal notification on the FDA website for a complete list of “Enjoy” and UPC numbers.
