  • Broccoli Recall Considered Class I Due to ‘Deadly’ Listeria Risk, FDA Warns


    Broccoli is a great vegetable to have on hand for making delicious dishes like stir-fries, soups, and more. But if you have any broccoli in your freezer, check the label immediately as it may be the subject of a possibly deadly recall, per the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

    On December 31, 2024, the FDA announced a recall of Braga Fresh’s washed and ready-to-eat 12-ounce bags of Marketside Broccoli Florets due to the possibility of Listeria monocytogenes contamination.

    In a notice published on January 27, 2025, the FDA labeled this 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.”

    Listeria is a bacteria that can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, elderly people, and those with weakened immune systems. Symptoms of infection can include muscle aches, fatigue, fever, diarrhea, and vomiting, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) says.

    The recalled broccoli florets were sold at Walmart stores in 20 states including Alaska, Arkansas, Arizona, California, Colorado, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Louisiana, Michigan, Montana, Nevada, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, Texas, Utah, Washington, and Wyoming.

    The product has a best-by date of December 10, 2024, UPC code of 6 81131 32884 5, and lot code of BFFG327A6. While the best-by date has passed, the FDA is concerned people may have the recalled product in their freezers. If you have the broccoli florets in your kitchen, throw them away immediately.



    The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has issued a warning about a recent recall of broccoli due to the potential risk of listeria contamination. The recall is considered a Class I recall, which means there is a reasonable probability that consuming the product could cause serious health consequences or even death.

    Listeria is a bacteria that can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and individuals with weakened immune systems. Symptoms of listeria infection include fever, muscle aches, diarrhea, and other gastrointestinal issues.

    Consumers are urged to check their refrigerators and freezers for any recalled broccoli products and to dispose of them immediately. It is important to thoroughly clean and sanitize any surfaces that may have come into contact with the contaminated products to prevent the spread of listeria.

    The FDA is working closely with the manufacturer to investigate the source of the contamination and to prevent any further outbreaks. In the meantime, consumers are advised to avoid consuming any broccoli products that may be affected by the recall.

    Stay tuned for more updates on this developing story as more information becomes available. Stay safe and always prioritize your health and well-being.

  • FDA escalates Walmart broccoli recall


    Check out what’s clicking on FoxBusiness.com.

    A recall over Walmart-sold broccoli florets has been escalated to Class I, the highest threat level, as consumers are warned to discard the food products over potential contamination.

    Braga Fresh has been recalling some packages of its ready-to-eat 12oz Marketside Broccoli Florets since Dec. 27. The FDA announced the recall on Dec. 31 and recently upgraded its classification. 

    Class I recalls, which are the most serious category of FDA food recalls, refer to “situation[s] 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.”

    The recall only pertains to 12oz bags of Marketside Broccoli Florets sold at Walmart stores. The recalled products have a UPC code of “6 81131 32884 5” on the back of the bag, and a best-by date of Dec 10, 2024. The products also contain a a lot code of “BFFG327A6”.

    POPULAR FROZEN MEAL SOLD AT ALDI RECALLED ACROSS 31 STATES FOR METAL CONTAMINATION: ‘DISCARD IT IMMEDIATELY’

    Braga said sales of the broccoli florets occurred at Walmart stores in 20 states. (Food and Drug Administration)

    “All potentially affected products are past their expiration date and no longer for sale,” the Braga Foods statement read. “This voluntary advisory does not apply to any other Marketside or Braga Fresh produced products.”

    “This product is past its [best-by date] and is no longer in stores, but consumers may have frozen the item for later use,” the release added. “Consumers who have this product in their freezers should not consume and discard the product.”

    According to the statement, the recall was initiated “due to possibility of contamination with Listeria monocytogenes.” 

    “The potential for contamination was discovered during random sampling by Texas Health & Human Services from a Texas store location where one of multiple samples yielded a positive test result,” the statement read.

    The Walmart locations that received the potentially affected product are located in Alaska, Arkansas, Arizona, California, Colorado, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Louisiana, Michigan, Montana, Nevada, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, Texas, Utah, Washington and Wyoming.

    Though no illnesses have been reported in connection to the products, Listeria monocytogenes can lead to listeriosis, which is especially deadly to pregnant women, older adults and people with weakened immune systems.

    “Although healthy individuals may suffer only short-term symptoms such as high fever, severe headache, stiffness, nausea, abdominal pain and diarrhea, Listeria monocytogenes infection can cause miscarriages and stillbirths among pregnant women,” the FDA said in a statement.

    In a statement, Walmart told FOX Business that the health and safety of its customers is “always a top priority.” 

    “While the expiration date for the potentially impacted Marketside Broccoli Florets has past and the product is no longer in stores, we encourage customers who may still have this product in their homes, such as stored in freezers, to not consume and to discard the product,” the spokesperson explained. “At this time, there have been no reported illnesses associated with this advisory, and we are working with the supplier to investigate.”

    The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has escalated the recall of broccoli products sold at Walmart due to potential listeria contamination.

    Listeria is a dangerous bacteria that can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections, especially in young children, elderly individuals, and those with weakened immune systems. Symptoms of listeria infection include fever, muscle aches, and gastrointestinal issues.

    Consumers who have purchased any broccoli products from Walmart are advised to immediately discard them or return them to the store for a refund. The FDA is working closely with Walmart to investigate the source of the contamination and prevent any further cases of illness.

    It is important to always follow food safety guidelines and properly store and handle produce to prevent the spread of harmful bacteria. Stay informed about product recalls and take action to protect yourself and your family from potential health risks.

  • Lay’s potato chip recall elevated to FDA’s highest-risk classification


    The FDA has upgraded a recall of Lay’s Potato Chips to the highest level possible, meaning consuming the chips will cause adverse health consequences.

    In December, Texas-based food manufacturer Frito Lay recalled a limited number of Lay’s Classic 13oz because the product could contain undeclared milk ingredients.

    “Those with an allergy or severe sensitivity to milk run the risk of a serious or life-threatening allergic reaction if they consume the recalled product,” the alert said.

    On January 27, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration classified the recall as “Class I,” the most severe risk level.

    According to the FDA, “Class I” level recalls are used in situations where there is a “reasonable probability that the use of or exposure to a violative product will cause serious adverse health consequences or death.”

    The recalled 13 oz. bags of Lay’s Classic Potato Chips will have a “Guaranteed Fresh Date” of Feb. 11, 2025 on the front of the bag and UPC number 28400 31041. The recalled chips were only sold in Washington and Oregon, reports USA TODAY.



    The popular snack brand Lay’s has been hit with a major setback as the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has elevated its recent potato chip recall to the highest-risk classification.

    The recall was initially issued due to concerns of possible salmonella contamination in certain batches of Lay’s potato chips. However, after further investigation, the FDA has determined that the potential health risks associated with the affected products are severe enough to warrant this serious classification.

    Consumers are advised to immediately stop consuming any Lay’s potato chips that fall under the recall and to return them to the store where they were purchased for a full refund. The FDA is urging people to be vigilant and to check any Lay’s products they have at home to ensure they are not part of the affected batches.

    This latest development serves as a stark reminder of the importance of food safety and the potential dangers that can arise when proper protocols are not followed. It also underscores the critical role that regulatory agencies like the FDA play in protecting public health.

    Stay tuned for further updates on this developing situation as more information becomes available. In the meantime, it is crucial to take the necessary precautions to ensure the safety of yourself and your loved ones.

  • FDA issues Class 1 recall for salmon sold at popular retail chain


    CINCINNATI (WKRC) – An FDA recall of smoked salmon from a popular chain of retail stores was recently reclassified as a Class 1 recall, the highest risk level available.

    The Food and Drug Administration issued a recall for Kirkland Signature brand smoked salmon, sold at Costco, for possible Listeria Monocytogenes contamination in October of 2024, but the recall was recently readjusted to Class 1, the highest risk level, which the FDA defines on its website as “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.”

    The recall specifically affects 111 cases of Kirkland Signature Smoked Salmon in twin 12 ounce packages, UPC 0 96619 25697 6, Lot 8512801270 with the best by date of 11/13/2024.

    The product had not been on shelves for some time, but it is possible that some customers still have it in their freezer for later use.

    Those who purchased the product should throw it away or return it to Costco for a refund.

    More information can be found on the FDA’s website.



    The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has issued a Class 1 recall for salmon sold at a popular retail chain due to potential health risks.

    Customers who have purchased salmon from this retail chain are advised to check the packaging for specific lot numbers and expiration dates provided by the FDA. The recall was issued after routine testing found potential contamination that could lead to serious illness if consumed.

    It is important for consumers to check their refrigerators and freezers for any salmon that matches the recalled products and to immediately return them to the store for a full refund.

    The FDA urges anyone who has consumed the recalled salmon and is experiencing symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, or fever to seek medical attention immediately.

  • FDA Just Upgraded The Recall Of Costco Grocery Item To The Highest Alert Level


    It’s a new week and we have another food recall to bring to your attention. But this one is a repeat of sorts, so we are asking you to check your freezers, y’all.

    Last October, as we previously reported, Costco issued a recall for Kirkland Signature Smoked Salmon with lot number 8512801270 and a best by date of 11/13/2024. Now, this recall has been upgraded by the FDA and given the highest level of risk, a Class 1.

    The FDA defines a Class 1 recall as, “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.”

    The impacted packages of salmon were manufactured by Brooklyn-based Acme Smoked Fish Corp and sold at Costco stores between October 9 and 13. And while these have long since been removed from Costco store shelves, there is concern that customers have them in their freezers and are unaware of the danger.

    Consumption of food contaminated with listeria monocytogenes can cause listeriosis, a serious infection that primarily affects older adults, persons with weakened immune systems, and pregnant women and their newborns.

    Listeriosis can cause fever, muscle aches, headache, stiff neck, confusion, loss of balance and convulsions sometimes preceded by diarrhea or other gastrointestinal symptoms. In pregnant women, the infection can cause miscarriages, stillbirths, premature delivery or life-threatening infection of the newborn. In addition, serious and sometimes fatal infections in older adults and persons with weakened immune systems can occur.

    So do a sweep of the freezer and don’t take any chances. If you have one of these packages, go ahead and throw it out.

  • Recall raised to highest risk level by FDA. What to know


    The Food and Drug Administration just raised the recall level of Lay’s Classic Potato Chips to the highest risk classification.

    Frito Lay issued a recall on Dec. 16 through the FDA for over 6,000 bags of Lay’s Classic Potato Chips that contained “undeclared milk.”

    According to the initial recall report, the FDA said “Those with an allergy or severe sensitivity to milk run the risk of a serious or life-threatening allergic reaction if they consumed the recalled product.”

    On Monday, the FDA upgraded the recall to their highest classification — class 1 — which is identified as “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,” per the administration’s website.

    Frito-Lay said in a statement, “This is not a new recall or a change to what was previously announced,” the statement reads. “The recall was executed in December in full cooperation with the FDA when the issue was identified. The recall was limited to two states, and recalled product has been removed from the marketplace.

    The specifically recalled chips were: 13-ounce bags of Lay’s Classic Potato Chips with UPC of 28400 31041, a “Guaranteed Fresh” date of Feb. 11, 2025, and a Manufacturing Code of either 6462307xx or 6463307xx. The batch was distributed in Washington and Oregon and the chips were available for purchase as soon as Nov. 3, 2024.

    What is undeclared milk?

    Undeclared milk refers to milk that is present in a food product but wasn’t listed in the ingredients or label. This can happen when something is mislabeled with wrong label or a labeling error. It can also happen via cross-contamination that can occur during processing.

    According to the Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology, milk is the predominant undeclared allergen in U.S. food product recalls.

    Milk is one of the FDA’s “Big 9” food allergens. For those that are allergic to it, milk consumption can lead to sudden, severe and potentially life-threatening allergic reactions such as hives, rash, tingling or swelling of lips, mouth, face, tongue, or throat, vomiting and/or diarrhea, cramps, coughing or wheezing, dizziness or lightheadedness, difficulty breathing, or drop in blood pressure.

    What should you do if you have the recalled chips?

    People who may have an allergy or sensitivity to milk should not consume the product, the alert said.

    Frito-Lay is encouraging people who may have the recalled chips to throw them out immediately.

    If you have any questions or concerns about this recall, you may contact Frito-Lay Consumer Relations at 1-800-352-4477 on Monday through Friday between 9 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. CT.

    The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has issued a recall on a product, raising it to the highest risk level of classification. This means that the product in question poses a serious health hazard to consumers and must be removed from shelves immediately.

    If you have purchased this product, it is important to stop using it and return it to the place of purchase for a refund. The FDA has not provided specific details on the nature of the hazard, so it is crucial to heed their warning and take appropriate action.

    In the meantime, be sure to check your pantry and any other storage areas for the affected product. It’s always better to be safe than sorry when it comes to potential health risks.

    Stay informed by following updates from the FDA and other reputable sources to ensure the safety of you and your loved ones. Your health is the top priority, so take this recall seriously and take the necessary steps to protect yourself.

  • Lay’s Potato Chip Recall Increased to Highest Risk Level


    Lay’s voluntary recall from December has been increased to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s highest risk level classification.

    On Dec. 13, Frito-Lay recalled more than 6,000 bags of 13 oz. Lay’s Classic Potato Chips due to “undeclared milk.” The affected chips were sold in Oregon and Washington. 

    On Monday, Jan. 27, the FDA classified the issue as a Class 1 recall, which is defined as  “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,” per the organization. The FDA uses classifications — Class I, II or II — to indicate the “degree of health hazard” of the recalled product.

    The recalled chips have a “guaranteed fresh” date of Feb. 11, 2025 and manufacturing codes 6462307xx or 6463307xx. No other Lay’s flavors, sizes or products are included in the recall.

    As of Jan. 29, no allergic reactions have been reported.

    Lay’s told PEOPLE in a statement, “This is not a new recall or a change to what was previously announced. The recall was executed in December in full cooperation with the FDA when the issue was identified. The recall was limited to two states, and recalled product has been removed from the marketplace.”

    Earlier this month, the FDA banned the additive Red No. 3, a common food dye in beverages, candy, snacks, and more.

    “The FDA cannot authorize a food additive or color additive if it has been found to cause cancer in human or animals,” the FDA’s deputy director for human foods Jim Jones said in a statement, NBC News reports. “Evidence shows cancer in laboratory male rats exposed to high levels of FD&C Red No. 3.”

    In 2023, California banned the ingredient — which is already banned in the European Union. 10 other states followed suit.

    As NBC News reported, food manufacturers have until Jan. 15, 2027 to adjust their products.



    Attention all snack lovers: Lay’s potato chips have been recalled and the risk level has been increased to the highest level due to potential contamination.

    The recall includes various flavors of Lay’s potato chips, including classic, barbecue, sour cream and onion, and more. The potential contamination is due to a possible presence of foreign material in the chips.

    Consumers are urged to check their pantry for any affected products and to immediately stop consumption. If you have purchased any of the recalled products, please return them to the store where you bought them for a full refund.

    The safety and well-being of our consumers is our top priority, and we apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. Thank you for your cooperation and understanding. Stay safe and snack responsibly!

  • Lays Classic Potato Chip recall upgraded to highest level. What to know


    A December recall of Lay’s Potato Chips has just been upgraded to a Class 1 recall, the highest level possible.

    On Dec. 18, 2024, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced that 6,300 of its 13-ounce bags of potato chips could contain “undeclared milk.”

    This issue arose in two states – Washington, and Oregon, according to the FDA.

    “Those with an allergy or severe sensitivity to milk run the risk of a serious or life-threatening allergic reaction if they consume the recalled product,” the FDA stated in a release at the time.

    The Class 1 recall – the FDA’s most serious classification – was issued earlier this week on Jan. 27 to stress the danger of the situation for certain people.

    The FDA stated that a Class 1 recall is “the most severe recall issued by the FDA, indicating a high risk of serious injury or death.”

    “For consumers with allergies, this designation is more than a warning—it’s a stark reminder of the stakes involved in food safety,” Forbes Magazine stated in a report.

    Here’s what to know.

    What kind of Lay’s potato chips were affected?

    Lay’s “classic” potato chips were the ones recalled in December, and that’s what this week’s Class 1 warning applies to as well.

    How could those with milk allergies be affected?

    The FDA stated that symptoms of those allergic to milk could include “hives, facial swelling, upset stomach, vomiting, wheezing, and in severe cases, anaphylaxis.”

    According to the Mayo Clinic website, anaphylaxis is a “life-threatening allergic reaction that occurs when the body’s immune system releases chemicals that cause widespread inflammation throughout the body.”

    A recall issued in December regarding 13-ounce bags of Lay’s Classic Potato Chips was upgraded by the FDA this week to a Class 1 recall. That is the agency's most serious kind of recall.
