Ukrop's Recalls 23,000 Pounds of Meals Over Metal Slivers Found in Spaghetti

3 articles · Updated · Fox Business · Aug 2

Summary

  • Nearly 23,000 pounds of Ukrop's Homestyle Foods baked spaghetti and chicken cobbler were recalled after a customer reported finding a metal piece in a fully cooked product.
  • FSIS said the affected items were produced between July 1 and July 29, carry best-by dates from July 8 through Aug. 5, and were sold in Virginia, North Carolina, West Virginia, commissaries and online.
  • No injuries have been confirmed, but regulators told consumers to discard the products — including frozen items — or return them for a full refund.
  • The recall follows another metal-contamination case in June, when Rich Products pulled more than 160,000 pounds of Farm Rich Pizza Cheese Crunchers across 21 states.
