Two food products including macaroni and cheese bites recalled for 'undeclared eggs'
Small Bites Macaroni & Cheese packages were recalled on Friday by C.H. Guenther & Son LLC of San Antonio, Texas, due to the possibility the bites might contain undeclared egg and meat ingredients, according to the FDA's site.
The recalled Small Bites were sold at Whole Foods Market sites nationwide.
The products were located in the frozen food aisles in grocery stores.
To date, there have been no reported illnesses related to the recall, the FDA said.
The product's name is 365 Whole Foods Market Small Bites Macaroni & Cheese.
The UPC code number is 99482499709 with a "best-by" date of 11/29/25, the FDA alert said. Customers may have purchased the recalled bites from Feb. 6, 2025, through March 11, 2025.
The alert noted the company has instituted measures "to prevent any future occurrences."
"Customers are urged to destroy any remaining product."
The recall was announced after a consumer complained the product contained meat and was not a macaroni and cheese bite.
"This issue has been corrected and no other manufacturing dates or lots are impacted," according to the FDA's site.
"Customers who have purchased '365 Whole Foods Market Small Bites Macaroni & Cheese' with the lot information listed above are urged to destroy any remaining product and can bring a valid receipt into the store for a full refund," said the company.
Separately, HAR Maspeth Corporation of Maspeth, New York, recalled its 8-ounce and 12- ounce packages of "Jinga Glass Noodles with Vegetables (Japche)" due to the presence of undeclared eggs, the FDA's site says.
"Consumers who are allergic to eggs may run the risk of serious or life-threatening allergic reactions if they consume this product," the notice indicates.
The recalled items were distributed to H Mart stores in multiple states.
The product comes in 8-ounce and 12-ounce clear plastic packaging with "best-by" dates of March 13, 2025, through March 18, 2025, stamped on top, the notice also says.
The product UPC codes are as follows, according to the FDA's website: 265405006495; 267405004495; 266405008496; and 268405005499.
To date, there have been no illnesses or allergic reactions involving this product, according to the same source.
The New York State's Department of Agriculture and Markets Food Inspectors, during a retail inspection, noted the presence of eggs in the 8- and 12-ounce packages of the product, which did not declare an egg ingredient on the label.
Consumers who have purchased these specific packages "are urged to return them to the place of purchase for a full refund," the company says.

Potentially radioactive shrimp recalled at Walmarts in a dozen states
The Food and Drug Administration warned Tuesday against eating certain brands of shrimp because they might be, uh, radioactive. Why it matters: This is not your chance to develop amazing crustacean-based superpowers. Any prolonged exposure to radiation could cause sickness or even death. Driving the news: The FDA said Tuesday that certain types of Great Value raw frozen shrimp sold at Walmart may be contaminated with Cesium-137, a radioactive isotope. U.S. Customs and Border Protection initially told the FDA that Cesium-137 had been detected in containers at four different U.S. ports, the FDA said. The FDA then found the isotope in one sample of breaded shrimp. Indonesia's BMS Foods allegedly violated the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, the FDA said, because the product "appears to have been prepared, packed, or held under insanitary conditions whereby it may have become contaminated with Cs-137 and may pose a safety concern." Yes, but: No shrimp that tested positive for the radioactive isotope have entered the U.S. commerce supply, according to the FDA. All products from BMS are banned "from coming into the U.S. until the firm has resolved the conditions that gave rise to the appearance of the violation," the FDA said. Worth noting: The FDA oversees safety of both domestic and imported seafood. The agency seeks out any immediate or potential threats when assessing products for safety. Which Walmart shrimp products are radioactive? Zoom in: The FDA shared three Great Value products that should not be shared, eaten or served to others: Great Value brand frozen raw shrimp, lot code: 8005540-1, Best by Date: March 15, 2027 Great Value brand frozen raw shrimp, lot code: 8005538-1, Best by Date: March 15, 2027 Great Value brand frozen raw shrimp, lot code: 8005539-1, Best by Date: March 15, 2027 Context: These were sold at stores in Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Missouri, Mississippi, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Texas and West Virginia, according to the FDA. Walmart told Axios in an email Tuesday that it recalled the product from impacted stores and customers who purchased the shrimp are eligible for a full refund. "The health and safety of our customers is always a top priority," Kelly Hellbusch, a Walmart spokesperson, said in a statement. "We have issued a sales restriction and removed this product from our impacted stores. We are working with the supplier to investigate." Symptoms of radiation from shrimp, Cesium-137 The FDA said the amount of Cesium-137 found in the shipment was low enough that it "would not pose an acute hazard to consumers." However, the warning "is a measure intended to reduce exposure to low-level radiation that could have health impacts with continued exposure over a long period of time," the FDA said. According to the Environmental Protection Agency, ingesting Cesium-137 can increase the risk of cancer. What to do with recalled Walmart shrimp

FDA warns of potentially radioactive frozen shrimp sold at Walmart
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is warning consumers not to eat, sell or serve frozen shrimp sold at Walmart due to potential radioactive contamination. The FDA was alerted by U.S. Customs & Border Protection (CBP) about the detection of Cesium-137, a radioactive isotope, in shipping containers at four U.S. ports: Los Angeles, Houston, Savannah, Ga., and Miami. The FDA collected multiple samples for analysis and the results confirmed the presence of Cs-137 in one sample of breaded shrimp distributed by Indonesia's BMS Foods, the agency said in a news release on Tuesday. 'Containers and product testing positive or alerting for Cs-137 have been denied entry into the country,' the FDA said in the update. 'The agency continues to coordinate with CBP to prevent any contaminated products from reaching consumers and is working with Indonesian seafood regulatory authorities to investigate the root cause of the contamination.' None of the shrimp that has entered the U.S. food supply has tested positive for Cs-137, the FDA said. The FDA suggested that all products from BMS Foods sent after the firm's containers tested positive for Cs-137 should be recalled, despite the products not testing positive for the radioactive isotope. Consumers should not eat or serve the following Great Value shrimp products sold at Walmart stores in Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Missouri, Misssisipi, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Texas and West Virginia: Great Value brand frozen raw shrimp, lot code: 8005540-1, Best by Date: 3/15/2027 Great Value brand frozen raw shrimp, lot code: 8005538-1, Best by Date: 3/15/2027 Great Value brand frozen raw shrimp, lot code: 8005539-1, Best by Date: 3/15/2027. 'FDA has not detected Cs-137 in any product above the current derived intervention levels for Cs-137 (1200 Bq/kg); however, FDA has concluded that the level detected in the breaded shrimp sample could represent a potential health concern for those exposed to this level of Cs-137 from consumption of the shrimp over an extended period of time combined with radiation that exists in the environment and from other sources such as medical procedures,' the agency said on Tuesday.

Walmart shrimp recalled due to possible radioactive contamination, FDA says
The FDA is advising Walmart customers to throw out certain Great Value brand shrimp products. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration is warning the public about possibly radioactive shrimp being sold at Walmart locations. On Tuesday morning, the FDA advised Walmart customers in a press release not to 'eat, sell, or serve certain imported frozen shrimp' from an Indonesian distributor, BMS Foods, due to possible contamination with the radioactive isotope, Cesium-137. U.S. Customs and Border Protection detected Cesium-137, also known as Cs-137, in shipping containers at four ports in the United States. The FDA tested a sample of frozen shrimp from Indonesia's BMS Foods, which came back positive for Cs-137. No shrimp that has tested positive for Cs-137 has entered the U.S. food supply, per the FDA. The following Great Value brand frozen shrimp products have been recalled and should not be consumed or served: Great Value brand frozen raw shrimp, lot code: 8005540-1, best by date: March 15, 2027 Great Value brand frozen raw shrimp, lot code: 8005538-1, best by date: March 15, 2027 Great Value brand frozen raw shrimp, lot code: 8005539-1, best by date: March 15, 2027 The frozen shrimp product, per the FDA's press release, appears to have been 'prepared, packed, or held under insanitary conditions whereby it may have become contaminated with Cs-137 and may pose a safety concern.' For customers who've recently purchased any of the affected frozen shrimp products as described above, the FDA recommends that they be thrown out immediately. 'Distributors and retailers should dispose of this product and should not sell or serve this product,' the FDA warned. The FDA has also added Indonesia's BMS Foods to a new import alert for chemical contamination. Products from the firm will no longer enter the U.S. until they've 'resolved the conditions that gave rise to the appearance of the violation.' Solve the daily Crossword
