Trader Joe’s announced the recall of another of its products due to possible stones in its packaging.
The supermarket chain announced the voluntary recall of fully cooked falafel, after days before it also recalled its almond crackers and 11,000 boxes of broccoli and cheddar cheese soup for containing stones and insects.
The U.S. supermarket chain Trader Joe’s announced for the third time the recall of another of its products, this time it is the fully cooked falafel, which may contain stones in its packaging.
In a statement, Trader Joe’s warned consumers that “if you purchased or received any donations of fully cooked falafel, do not eat them. We urge you to discard the product or return it to any Trader Joe’s for a full refund,” it said.
The product was sold in approximately 34 states and Washington DC, and the recall comes just days after the company announced that two types of crackers were also recalled for the same problem, stones in their packaging.
Trader Joe’s a week ago also reported that at least 11,000 cases of broccoli and cheddar cheese soup were voluntarily recalled because, according to the chain, “there are bugs in the frozen broccoli florets.
According to the Food and Drug Administration, this soup was sold in Trader Joe’s stores in approximately seven states: Washington, Pennsylvania, Illinois, California, Texas, Florida and Connecticut.
Although the supermarket chain did not respond to comments, it did indicate that customers who have questions about the recalled products can contact Trader Joe’s at (626) 599-3817 or send an e-mail.
