Shoppers who opt for more organic choices on their weekly grocery trip might want to double-check their refrigerators because a national chain has recalled an organic produce item after customers complained about glass fragments.
Natural Grocers, a Colorado-based company, has recalled Natural Grocers brand 2-pound bags of organic mung beans after multiple complaints about glass found in the product.
“Ingesting glass fragments may cause injury to the consumer, and these injuries may include damage to teeth, laceration of the mouth and throat, or perforation of the intestine. No illnesses or injuries have been reported to date,” the company’s recall announcement stated.
Natural Grocers shipped the mung beans to stores in Arkansas, Arizona, Colorado, Iowa, Idaho, Kansas, Louisiana, Minnesota, Missouri, Montana, North Dakota, Nebraska, New Mexico, Nevada, Oklahoma, Oregon, South Dakota, Texas, Utah, Washington, Wisconsin and Wyoming, according to the recall announcement.
The recalled products were sold in clear plastic bags labeled with the UPC 000080112600 and have pack dates of 26-160, 26-173, 26-196, 26-224, or 26-258. The mung beans began shipping on June 10, 2026.
“Consumers who purchased this product should discontinue use immediately and either discard it or return it for a full refund or credit,” the recall stated.
San Antonio has two Natural Grocers locations, one on North New Braunfels Avenue and another on Northwest Military Highway. The chain lists 25 locations across Texas, including three in the Austin area, one in Corpus Christi and one in Brownsville.
