Bread containing ‘glass fragments' recalled in six states
Upper Crust Bakery LP has issued a voluntary recall on three of its bread products after glass fragments were discovered on the surface of the loaves, according to an FDA report issued on April 12. The recall affects 89 cases of Ancient Grains Hoagie Rolls, 699 cases of Multigrain Sourdough, and 30 cases of Whole Grain Multigrain bread. All the products were sold frozen and packaged in corrugated paper cartons. Consumers who have purchased these items are urged not to consume them and to return them to their place of purchase for a refund. The recalled breads were sold at stores in six states: California, Connecticut, Delaware, Maryland, Ohio, and Pennsylvania. On April 25, the FDA classified it as a Class II recall, meaning '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.' However, there have not been any reports of injuries due to the recalled breads at the time of writing. There has already been a wide range of food and drink recalls issued in the U.S. in 2025. S. Martinelli & Co. recently issued a voluntary recall of 7,234 cases of its apple juice in March due to potential contamination with patulin. According to the FDA, patulin is 'a toxic substance produced by molds that may grow on apples.' Previously, patulin was 'found to occur at high levels in some apple juice products offered for sale in or import into the U.S.' The recall pertains to certain four-packs of 10-ounce round glass apple juice bottles that were sold across 28 states, some of which include Alabama, Arkansas, Arizona, California, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Michigan, and Missouri. The FDA defined the recall of Martinielli's apple juice as Class II on April 22. On April 10, celery sold at Walmart was also affected by a recall over a possible listeria risk. Duda Farm Fresh Foods, Inc. announced that its washed and ready-to-eat Marketside Celery Sticks, with a best-by date of March 23, should be thrown out. The product was sold at Walmart stores in 29 states. Also last month, Johnsonville, LLC, recalled approximately 22,672 pounds of its cheddar bratwurst product. This was because the sausages may have been contaminated 'with foreign material, specifically hard plastic.' The recall was initiated after Johnsonville, LLC received complaints from two different customers reporting hard plastic found in their bratwurst.

Pork products sold at Aldi spark health alert over possible metal contamination
Consumers are receiving a warning about pork products sold at Aldi. The U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) issued a health alert Saturday for Cargill Meat Solutions' pork carnitas products. The alert was issued because the products may be contaminated with foreign material, specifically pieces of metal. However, the FSIS didn't request a recall for the pork products because they are 'no longer available for sale in commerce.' The fully cooked pork carnitas, which only needed to be heated up before being served, were produced from April 1 through April 2, 2025. They were sold in 16-ounce sleeved trays. Product had the label 'Pork Carnitas SEASONED & SEARED PORK WITH JUICES SLOW COOKED WITH CITRUS.' Products also had the use-by date of '06/30/2025' or '07/01/2025' on the side of the packaging. The pork packages that are subject to the public health alert have the bear establishment number, 'Est. 46049,' inside the USDA mark of inspection. They were sent to Aldi grocery stores across the U.S. The Independent has reached out to Aldi for comment. The public health alert came after Cargill Meat Solutions notified FSIS that during routine process checks, they 'found equipment damage that may have contaminated the carnitas products with pieces of metal.' However, there have been no reports of injury due to consumption of the pork products at the time of writing. While the pork products aren't for sale anymore, the FSIS is still concerned that consumers have the affected food in their refrigerators or freezers right now. So, consumers who have the product are being urged to either throw it away or return the product to the place where it was purchased. The pork products aren't the only food that's been at risk of contamination. Last week, many popular soups were affected by a USDA health alert over 'foreign material.' Cilantro, an ingredient in the products, was found to be contaminated with wood, according to a nationwide alert from the Department of Agriculture's Food Safety and Inspection Service. Campbell's soups were among the named products; specifically, the brand's Chicken Tortilla Soup, Baja Chicken Enchilada Soup, and Wicked Thai Soup. Molly's Kitchen, another popular brand, was also affected. On April 10, celery sold at Walmart was affected by a recall over a possible listeria risk. Duda Farm Fresh Foods, Inc. announced that its washed and ready-to-eat Marketside Celery Sticks with a best-by date of March 23, should be thrown out. The product was sold at Walmart stores in 29 states across the nation. Also this month, Cabot Creamery issued a voluntary recall on 1,700 pounds of butter after it was found to be contaminated with bacteria found in feces. The contaminated Extra Creamy Sea Salt Butter Sticks were sold in seven states and had a best-by date of September 9.

FDA: Celery Sold at Walmart Recalled Over Potentially ‘Fatal' Bacteria
Duda Farm Fresh Foods, Inc. is recalling its Marketside Celery Sticks over listeria concerns. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration issued an alert, advising customers to immediately discontinue use and discard any products included in the recall. Learn which lots are affected, below. It may be time to double-check your produce drawer because another food recall has consumers on high alert. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recently announced a recall of celery over a potentially 'fatal' bacterial contamination. Duda Farm Fresh Foods, Inc. issued the voluntary recall of the affected produce on April 10, 2025, according to the announcement shared on the FDA website, warning customers about a potential Listeria monocytogenes contamination. The April 2025 recall involves pre-cut, washed, and ready-to-eat Marketside Celery Sticks distributed to Walmart stores across more than half the country. The celery in question was sold in four-count, 1.6-ounce packs that include a Best If Used By date of 03/23/2025 on the package. While the FDA notes that the celery has been removed from store shelves and is past its best-by date, affected product could still be in consumers' freezers. In addition to the best-if-used-by date, the FDA says you'll need to look for Lot Code: P047650, which should appear on the front of the celery's packaging. The company says it became aware of a possible contamination after a random test performed by the Georgia Department of Agriculture came back positive. According to the FDA, Listeria monocytogenes can cause 'serious and sometimes fatal' infections in the very young and the very old, or those with certain pre-existing health conditions. It may cause symptoms that range from mild to severe, and include stiffness, abdominal pains and diarrhea, fever, headache, and more. Those who are pregnant are also at an increased risk. Listeria monocytogenes may cause pregnancy loss or even stillbirth. As such, it's crucial to check both your refrigerator and freezer to make sure that you don't have the recalled items in your possession. Fortunately, the FDA says that no illnesses have been reported in relation to this recall at the time of the announcement. Anyone with questions about the recall should contact the company directly by emailing foodsafety@ You can also get more information, including a full list of the states these products were distributed to, by visiting the FDA website. If it feels like there have been a lot of product recalls lately, that's because there have been. But, that doesn't mean that our foods are any less safe. Experts previously told Prevention that a combination of factors is causing these product recalls, including more robust testing, better methods to detect food safety issues sooner, staffing issues, and a rise in ready-to-eat foods like these celery sticks, which present more opportunities for bacteria like Listeria monocytogenes to grow.
