Popular tortilla chips urgently recalled for serious health risk
Frito-Lay has issued a recall on certain bags of Tostitos chips over an undeclared allergen. The company issued a press release on Wednesday about a limited number of 13-ounce bags of Tostitos Cantina Traditional Yellow Corn Tortilla Chips being recalled in the U.S. The affected bags could mistakenly have nacho cheese tortilla chips, meaning they may contain an undeclared milk allergen. The recalled product was distributed to a range of retailers across 13 states: Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Mississippi, North Carolina, Ohio, South Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia, and West Virginia. The affected product has a UPC of 28400 52848 and a 'guaranteed fresh' date of May 20, 2025. The bags will also have certain manufacturing codes, which are listed in the press release. Chip bags were first sold on March 7, with less than 1,300 bags included in the recall. There have not been any reported allergic reactions due to the product. No other Tostitos products have been affected by the recall. According to the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), consuming undeclared allergens 'may result in adverse health outcomes for certain individuals.' The most common undeclared allergens are wheat, shellfish, eggs, fish, peanuts, milk, tree nuts, and soybeans. This isn't the first time that Frito-Lay has recalled a product due to an undeclared allergen. In November, a limited number of Lay's Classic Potato Chips bags were recalled because they may have contained undeclared milk, which Frito-Lay learned 'after being alerted through a consumer contact.' The recalled product was sent to retail stores and distributors in Oregon and Washington, and it was available for purchase as early as November 3, 2024. Two months later, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) elevated this recall to a Class I recall, which is 'a situation in which there is a reasonable probability that the use of, or exposure to, a violative product will cause serious adverse health consequences or death.' Within the last month, there has been a slew of food and drink recalls. Earlier this week, 864 cases of Coca-Cola — each of which had 12 cans — were recalled because they were contaminated with plastic. This means that more than 10,000 cans of soda were affected by the recall. The affected cases of Coca-Cola were distributed to retailers in Illinois and Wisconsin. Last week, Aldi issued a voluntary recall on 400 cases of Happy Farm's Colby Jack Deli Sliced Cheese, which included 12 plastic pouches of blended Colby and Monterey cheese slices each. According to the FDA, the Aldi product may contain stainless steel fragments, and exposure to such contaminants could cause temporary health risks. It's unclear how the potential metal products got into the cheese. Also earlier this month, Dessert Holdings, LLC announced that it was recalling Target brand Favorite Day's New York Style Cheesecake, sold in a six-ounce container with two slices of cake. The recall is due to mislabeled packaging, resulting in undeclared pecans in the products.

Coca-Cola cases recalled due to plastic contamination
Coca-Cola has issued a recall on select cases of its soda due to foreign object contamination. Reyes Coca-Cola Bottling, LLC issued the voluntary recall earlier this month, according to a report shared by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). A total of 864 cases — each of which has 12 Coca-Cola cans — have been recalled because they were contaminated with plastic. This means that more than 10,000 cans of soda were affected by the recall. According to the FDA, each of the affected cans has a UPC of 0 49000-00634 6. The targeted packs of 12 cans have a UPC of 0 49000-02890 4. The recalled cases of Coca-Cola were distributed to retailers in Illinois and Wisconsin. The action was classified as a 'Class II' recall on Monday, which is a 'situation in which use of or exposure to a violative product may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences, or where the probability of serious adverse health consequences is remote,' according to the FDA. The Independent has contacted Reyes Coca-Cola Bottling, LLC for comment. The news comes as food and drink recalls continue to be on the rise. Last week, Aldi issued a voluntary recall on 400 cases of Happy Farm's Colby Jack Deli Sliced Cheese, which included 12 plastic pouches of blended Colby and Monterey cheese slices each. According to the FDA, the Aldi product may contain stainless steel fragments, and exposure to such contaminants could cause temporary health risks. It's unclear how the potential metal products got into the cheese. Days earlier, Dessert Holdings, LLC announced that it was recalling a Target brand cheesecake. The product is Favorite Day's New York Style Cheesecake, sold in a six-ounce container with two slices of cake. The cheesecake was recalled due to mislabeled packaging, resulting in undeclared pecans in the products. Customers who 'have an allergy or severe sensitivity to pecans run the risk of serious or life-threatening allergic reactions' if they consume this cheesecake, states a press release concerning the recall. Recalled cheesecakes were sent to Target Distribution Centers in California, Florida, Iowa, Ohio, and Texas. The product was sold at Target stores in these states. Also this month, Nestlé U.S. issued a voluntary recall on a limited supply of its Stouffer's and Lean Cuisine meals due to the potential presence of 'wood-like material.' The food conglomerate said the recalled products had been distributed 'at major retailers' between September 2024 and March 2025. Nestlé said the company launched an investigation after consumers contacted them to report multiple issues — one involving a potential choking incident.

Over 4,000 Happy Farm Cheese Packets From Aldi Have Been Recalled
Just when I thought recall notices were slowing down, the Food and Drug Administration struck again. I'm still not over my favorite coffee creamer getting recalled or my go-to sparkling water. And now, my cheese is infected? I can't take it anymore. ICYMI, on March 19, the FDA issued a Class II recall notice for Great Lakes Cheese Co. Inc., the manufacturer of Aldi's branded cheeses. This recall affects the 12-ounce Happy Farm's Colby Jack Deli Sliced Cheese, which was found to be potentially contaminated with 'stainless steel fragments,' according to the notice. The cheese was sold in four states—Connecticut, Michigan, Ohio, and Pennsylvania—and has an expiration date of July 13 and 14, 2025. The product's UPC number is: 4061463330840. So far, 400 cases—around 4,800 individual packets—have been recalled, though no illnesses have been reported. The recall was initially initiated in early February but recently turned into a Class II notice, which means the 'use of or exposure to a violative product may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences, or where the probability of serious adverse health consequences is remote,' according to the FDA. If you've recently purchased Aldi's Happy Farm cheese, it's best to throw it out or return it to the store for a refund. Don't eat it, even if it looks okay. (Trust me, it's not worth the risk). And while there have been a lot of recalls lately, don't be afraid to grocery shop. Sure, these notices are scary—like, omg food can be contaminated with metals and we wouldn't know. But to be fair, the FDA is doing its job by finding problematic food and recalling it from the shelves. So, take a deep breath and trust that safety protocols are in place. And in the meantime, keep an eye out for any recall notices. You Might Also Like Insanely Easy Weeknight Dinners To Try This Week 29 Insanely Delicious Vodka Cocktails

Aldi recalls thousands of shredded cheese packs for possible metal contamination
Aldi has issued a voluntary recall on 5,000 cheese pouches for possible metal contamination. The impacted products include 400 cases of Happy Farm's Colby Jack Deli Sliced Cheese filled with 12 plastic pouches of blended Colby and Monterey cheese slices each. According to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, this product may contain stainless steel fragments, and exposure to such contaminants could cause temporary health risks. It's unclear how the potential metal products got in the cheese. The cases were sold across Ohio, Connecticut, Michigan and Pennsylvania with expiration dates of July 13 and July 14, 2025, and a bar code of 4061463330840. At this time, the status of the recall is 'ongoing.' Aldi's recall comes after Nestlé U.S. issued its voluntary recall on a limited supply of Stouffer's and Lean Cuisine meals due to the potential presence of 'wood-like material.' The food conglomerate previously said the recalled products had been distributed 'at major retailers' between September 2024 and March 2025. The recalled meals include: Lean Cuisine Butternut Squash Ravioli, Lean Cuisine Spinach Artichoke Ravioli, Lean Cuisine Lemon Garlic Shrimp Stir Fry, and Stouffer's Party Size Chicken Lasagna. All meals were made between August 2024 and March 2025. Any meals that do not have the following batch numbers listed under the announcement are not included in the recall. You can find the affected batch numbers here. Nestlé said the company launched an investigation after consumers contacted them to report multiple issues — one involving a potential choking incident. According to the food giant, customers should dispose of or return the potentially contaminated food products to receive a full refund. 'We are actively investigating the source of the wood-like material. We are confident that this is an isolated issue, and we have taken action to address it,' the company said. 'We are working with the U.S. Food & Drug Administration and the U.S. Department of Agriculture on this recall and will cooperate with them fully,' the statement continued. 'The quality, safety and integrity of our products remain our number one priority. We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this action represents to both our consumers and retail customers.' In January, a recall on packages of smoked salmon sold at Costco was updated to the highest risk level by the FDA, meaning there was a reasonable probability that use or exposure to the fish would 'cause serious adverse health consequences or death.' Acme Smoked Fish Corporation first issued a recall for 111 cases of Kirkland Signature Smoked Salmon in October 2024 due to contamination with the disease-causing bacteria Listeria monocytogenes. There were no reported illnesses when the recall was initially issued. The FDA upgraded the risk level after the product was no longer sold in stores because some consumers still had the product in their freezers, according to ConsumerAffairs.
