More than 25,000 cases of tomato-based bread items sold at Trader Joe’s <\/a>and by other brands have been recalled because of the possible presence of metal, according to a\u00a0recall notice <\/a>by the U.S. Food & Drug Administration.<\/p>\n

The affected products were sold under brands\u00a0Trader Joe\u2019s<\/a>, Frederik\u2019s by Meijer, Harris Teeter, and Fresh and Simple at stores in 10 states, including Texas, and Arizona, California, Connecticut, Florida, Illinois, Michigan, North Carolina, New Jersey and Virginia.<\/p>\n

The voluntary recall was initiated by manufacturer Bakkavor in January and on March 23 classified by the FDA as a Class II recall, which means the affected items could lead to \u201ctemporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences,” the FDA report said.<\/p>\n

Among the various recalled products are more than 20 lots of Trader Joe\u2019s Roasted Tomato and Parmesan Focaccia Bread, sold exclusively at Trader Joe\u2019s with use-by dates between July 26 and Oct. 15.<\/p>\n

Also included in the recall were 2,337 cases of\u00a0HelloFresh Basil Pesto and Mozzarella Pizza, sold under the HelloFresh brand, an E-commerce food delivery brand.<\/a><\/p>\n

Other products recalled are Frederik\u2019s by Meijer Slow-Roasted Tomato and Shredded Parmesan Cheese Focaccia and Fresh and Simple Roasted Tomato and Parmesan Focaccia.<\/p>\n

The metal fragments were discovered by the Charlotte, N.C.-based Bakkavor and traced to roasted tomatoes provided by one of the company\u2019s ingredient suppliers, according to the FDA recall notice.<\/p>\n

People who purchased these items are being urged to throw them out or return them for a refund by the place of purchase.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"More than 25,000 cases of tomato-based bread items sold at Trader Joe’s and by other brands have been…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":227180,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[27,29,28],"class_list":["post-227179","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-texas","tag-texas","tag-texas-headlines","tag-texas-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/227179","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=227179"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/227179\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/227180"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=227179"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=227179"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=227179"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
