Courtesy of Trader Joe's<\/p>\n <\/span> \nTrader Joe’s is recalling two more products: a broccoli cheddar soup that may contain insects and some ready-to-eat falafel that may contain rocks, the company said in two separate news releases last week.\n<\/p>\n \nThe two new recalls come after a similar recall, also announced last week, regarding the grocery chain’s Almond Windmill Cookies and Dark Chocolate Chunk and Almond Cookies\u2014both of which were pulled from shelves due to the possible presence of rocks.\n<\/p>\n \nThe new soup recall impacts Trader Joe's Unexpected Broccoli Cheddar Soup<\/strong> (SKU# 68470) with use-by dates of July 18, 2023 through September 15, 2023.\n<\/p>\n \nThe other recall affects Trader Joe's Fully Cooked Falafel<\/strong> (SKU# 93935). Though the company did not provide specific best-by dates or product codes, it said that the packages that may contain rocks were sold in35 states and the District of Columbia.\n<\/p>\n \nBoth affected products have since been removed from Trader Joe's shelves and destroyed. No adverse health effects have been reported to date in relation to the broccoli cheddar soup recall, and no information was provided about any potential injuries or health events due to the recalled falafel.\n<\/p>\n \nCustomers should check to see if they purchased or were given either of these products, and are urged to discard any possibly-contaminated products or return them to a Trader Joe\u2019s store for a full refund.\u00a0Customers should not eat either of the affected products.\n<\/p>\n \nThe company said that any customers with questions about either recall should contact their customer relations department at 626-599-3817, or they can send an email via an online contact form.\n<\/p>\n These Are the Top 10 Foods Most Likely to Be Linked to Recalls and Disease Outbreaks<\/span><\/p>\n <\/span> <\/p>\n \nThe falafel and broccoli cheddar soup recalls come on the heels of other Trader Joe\u2019s products that were also recalled for possible foreign contamination\u2014as recently as July 25, the company recalled two of its popular cookie products over concerns that they may contain rocks. \n<\/p>\n \nThe company was also recently involved in larger recalls of some of their frozen fruit products. Certain units of Trader Joe\u2019s Organic Tropical Fruit Blend were recalled in March over fears of hepatitis A contamination, and again in June due to possible Listeria monocytogenes <\/em>contamination. \n<\/p>\n \nIn terms of its policy toward general food safety, the company states that it always \u201c[errs] on the side of caution and [is] proactive in addressing issues.\u201d\n<\/p>\n \nForeign object contamination\u2014the umbrella term for when insects, rocks, plastic, or other potentially harmful objects get into food\u2014is a fairly common cause of food recalls. Though products like the ones recalled by Trader Joe\u2019s aren\u2019t included in data, foreign object contamination of meat products was the most common cause of recalls in 2022, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture.<\/span>\n<\/p>\n \nTrader Joe\u2019s did not provide information on how the rocks or insects may have gotten into the falafel and broccoli cheddar soup, respectively. It also didn\u2019t expand on how rocks might have contaminated the cookie products in that announcement.\n<\/p>\n \nWhen it comes to hard or sharp objects in particular, the concern is that they may cause injuries in the mouth, stomach, or intestines. Trader Joe\u2019s did not say how large the rocks in the falafel may have been, but according to the Food and Drug Administration, objects smaller than 7 millimeters rarely cause injuries.<\/span>\n<\/p>\n Johnsonville Recalls More Than 42,000 Pounds of Sausage Over Possible Contamination<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Trader Joe’s has issued recalls for two popular products due to the potential presence of insects and rocks, the company said in two separate press releases.
