One Sam's Club Recall Pulled Almost 150,000 Boxes Of Treats Off The Shelves
There are times when coming across a surprise element in food can be a pleasure. Consider the king cake, which often contains a hidden figurine representing the baby Jesus: It has been a staple of celebrations for the Feast of the Epiphany for centuries. But the king cake is just one of many crowd-pleasing foods that conceal another delicious ingredient, from arancini — a delicious solution for your leftover rice problem — and piñata cakes to the mysterious Thanksgiving meat tsunami that is the turducken. Aside from finding the figurine in the king cake, plastic in your food is rarely cause for celebration however — and that's the situation addressed by a massive Sam's Club recall. In December 2022, the Canada-based company Sublime Desserts issued a recall for 148,000 units of its Member's Mark Holiday Macarons (sold exclusively at Sam's Club) because of potential contamination from plastic particles. Because the macarons were frozen, there was concern that consumers might keep them long after the initial purchase (the products did not expire until October to December 2023, according to the dates on the packaging). The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) labeled the action as a Class II recall, indicating that the contaminant might cause temporary or reversible health problems, but was unlikely to create serious or lasting health issues. No health problems related to the macarons were reported at the time of the recall. Read more: Discontinued Costco Grocery Products We Probably Won't Get Back Recalls are part of the business of running retail giants in the U.S. and abroad, and Sam's Club has not been immune to them. Over the past decade, Sam's Club food recalls have affected millions, for a variety of reasons. Salmonella was the culprit behind a recall of Jennie-O All Natural Turkey Burgers in 2011 and JIF peanut butter in 2022. The equally gruesome bacteria, listeria, led to the removal of various stone fruits in 2024 as well as 26 different kinds of muffins in 2021. Meanwhile, lack of accurate information caused a 2024 recall of Member's Mark Breaded Mozzarella Sticks. Rich Products, the producer of the breaded cheese sticks, failed to list soy and egg among the ingredients, both of which can cause serious health problems for those allergic to them. Curiously, particles of plastic are at the heart of several Sam's Club recalls. What's meant by "plastic particles" is not the microplastics that are an unavoidable part of eating and drinking today, but larger pieces, such as those found in cans of Member's Mark Premium Natural Chunk Chicken Breast in Water in 2018 and frozen chicken nugget products from Tyson in 2014. This list of recalls is in no way a criticism of Sam's Club. If anything, it underscores the retailer's commitment to keeping its customers safe and abiding by federal requirements to remove potentially hazardous food items.

Buc-ee's sues Missouri travel stop Barc-ee's for trademark infringement
The Brief Rest-stop chain Buc-ee's has sued Missouri travel stop called Bar-cee's for trademark infrigement. The suit claims that Bar-cee's acknowledged that Buc-ee's was the influence behind the name. Buc-ee's is seeking an order to block the use of the logo and damages. Buc-ee's is suing a Missouri-based travel stop called Barc-ee's, claiming they are infringing on the popular chain's trademark. The Lawsuit Earlier this month, Buc-ee's filed the lawsuit in a United States court in Missouri. The suit says that Home Away From Home Dog Training, LLC opened a Barc-ee's travel stop in Marshfield, Missouri that sold food, drinks, pet products and more. It also offered EV charging stations and play areas. Buc-ee's says the company purposefully used and promoted the Barc-ee's name in a way that violates the Buc-ee's trademark. The suit claims that the name, the curving word style and cartoon mascot, which uses a brown animal with a red tongue on a yellow circle all mimic important aspects of Buc-ee's trademarks. Lawyers for Barc-ee's also cite articles about the business posted on the website saying that Buc-ee's was the inspiration for the Bar-cee's business. "Defendants are using the Barc-ee's Mark and the Barc-ee's Logo with full knowledge of Buc-ee's rights, and in bad faith and with willful and deliberate intent to trade on Buc-ee's substantial recognition, reputation, and goodwill," reads the lawsuit. Buc-ee's claims that the use of the name and logos "falsely indicates to the purchasing public" that they are in some way connected to or sponsored by Buc-ee's. The chain says that Bar-cee's "unlawful conduct" has been "intentional, willful, and malicious." Buc-ee's is seeking an order to block Barc-ee's from using the similar logos and marks and award a financial payment for damages, costs, and attorney fees. The other side Barc-ee's posted on Facebook that its team is working to reimagine its location. The owner of Barc-ee's says they are currently assessing if it is in their best interest to continue moving forward. "Being sued is a delightful addition to the business experience that none of my mentors got me ready for. It's like receiving a surprise gift that you never knew you wanted. This unwanted extreme team-building gift involves stakes that are high and 'trust falls' that involve legal documents and not people. Although I prefer my business challenges to come with a side of coffee rather than a court summons, this is just a part of the entrepreneur game. My legal team believes we are not legally infringing on any trademarks. The remarks from a legal team that specializes in trademarks also believe that I could win if it went to trial, but it may not be worth the fight. Beavers are cunning creatures. Very rare does a small dog go into a fight with a big beaver and come out on top," wrote Barc-ee's owner John Lopez on Facebook. The backstory Buc-ee's was founded in Lake Jackson, Texas in 1982. The chain of gas stations has since spread in the United States. There are 51 Buc-ee's in Missouri, Alabama, Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, Tennessee, Kentucky, Colorado and Texas. This is not the first time Buc-ee's has been in a trademark infringement lawsuit. A North Texas gas station was sued by the convenience store in January. The Source Information in this article comes from the lawsuit filed in United States District Court of the Western District of Missouri Southern Division and Buc-ees.
