    Trader Joe’s is asking its customers to throw away a certain frozen product over fears that it may contain plastic.

    The beloved grocery store chain announced the recall on Feb. 14. In a statement on its website, Trader Joe’s advised customers to dispose of any Trader Joe’s Organic Acai Bowls, regardless of UPC code or best-by dates.

    “Out of an abundance of caution, please discard any Trader Joe’s Organic Acai Bowls, as the product may contain foreign material (plastic), or return them to your neighborhood Trader Joe’s store for a full refund,” the company said.

    The supermarket chain did not disclose any reported injuries or how many product units were impacted.

    Trader Joe’s has recalled products over plastic contamination in the past. Last year, the chain’s Steamed Chicken Soup Dumplings were recalled over fears that it contained hard plastic from a permanent marker pen, impacting 61,839 pounds of the frozen soup dumplings.

    Trader Joe’s also recalled 653,000 of its mango tangerine scented candles last August. At the time, the grocery store said that when the candle flame was lit, it could “spread from the wick to the wax, causing a larger than expected flame, posing a fire hazard.”

    “If you purchased the Mango Tangerine Scented Candle, please do not use it,” Trader Joe’s said in its recall announcement. “We urge you to discard the product or return it to any Trader Joe’s for a full refund.”

    FDA announces recall of Horizon Organic milk due to spoilage concerns

    FOX Business’ Lydia Hu reports on inspection records showing unsanitary conditions at Boar’s Heads plants on ‘Mornings with Maria.’

    A popular brand of organic milk is recalling thousands of cartons of milk due to spoilage concerns, according to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

    The recall pertains to the 8-ounce size of the Horizon Organic Aseptic Plain Whole Milk. In total, 19,688 cases have been recalled, and the recall was upgraded to Class II on Jan. 17.

    The best-by dates of the recalled products are between March 3 and March 7, 2025. The milk was sold in Arizona, California and Nevada. 

    Affected products were sold under a UPC code of 3663207113 for a 12-pack container, and a single unit UPC code of 3663207127.

    On its website, the FDA noted that the milk is potentially susceptible to “premature product spoilage during shelf life.”

    According to the FDA’s guidelines, a Class II recall refers to 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.”

    It is not exceedingly uncommon for food to be recalled due to spoilage issues. 

    Earlier this month, Walmart stores recalled more than 12,000 cartons of Great Value brand chicken broth, citing the reason as “potential for packaging failures that could compromise the sterility of the product, resulting in spoilage.”

    “The health and safety of our customers is always a top priority,” a Walmart spokesperson said in a statement. “As soon as we were made aware of the issue, we took action to remove all impacted product from the select, impacted stores. We are continuing to work with the supplier to investigate.”
