Ocean Spray is recalling certain lots of Original Flavor Craisins Dried cranberries, after tiny, hair-like metal fragments were found in some packages.
The affected produce comes in 5-ounce, 10-ounce and 48-ounce packages. The company claimed that the hair-like metal fragments are extremely unlikely to cause any harm or injury to consumers and said the recall is a "precautionary measure."
Craisins are fresh cranberries that have been partially dehydrated, a process similar to making raisins from grapes. Craisins are popular for making salads, added to bread, cereals, or simply eaten on their own.

Bill Ham (Fri, 02 Dec 2011 08:48:34 +0000): No list of lot numbers? Seems like a huge shortcomming for a so called 'consumer' website.
Cornelia Ciocan Hacik Samuel (Sun, 04 Dec 2011 23:33:22 +0000): I concur. Specifying the lot number would be helpful to us consumers. Thank you.
